Time slowly crumbles to the dust of tomorrow,
The future envisions a land full of sorrow.
The tired sun burns the earth all around,
More natural disasters world-wide can be found.
Resources depleting, as our pollution expands,
And lives drift aimlessly just like the sands.
Forests are strangled and ploughed to the ground,
A world filled with noise and stressing sound.
The air we breathe choked with noxious fumes,
And farmed with chemicals, is the food man consumes.
Our waterways wash with the filth of progress,
Our land is littered with garbage and mess.
With all of our knowledge and earthly control,
We are more in the dark then Neanderthal.
For at least they lived respecting the land,
Understood to submit to its wish and command.
Our eyes are glued on, we don't comprehend,
That no thing is infallible, to eventually bend
Beneath its misuse for the havoc we reek,
Gone far beyond its reverse we all seek.
Then we'll blame the meek and the mild,
The powers, the rulers, the sick and defiled.
The brave, the dumb and those who stand out,
We'll curse and bemoan, we'll accuse and shout.
Not once will we blame ourselves being part,
In destroying our world, of ceasing its heart.
We'll place all the blame upon those knowing better,
But we are all part of this human vendetta.
If each of us showed the slightest concern,
There's chance we might save this earth we all spurn.
Then our future may never be dust of the past,
Forever loyal, our earth's future to last.
