Are You Listening?


This earth is being attacked by what we produce

And we live as if there is nothing wrong

As if we can't take the actions to correct it

We know the effect we have in this world

But we ignore it 

Animals and their habitats we grew to love are disappearing by the second

We continue to take from a planet that did nothing but give

Just to fufill our selfish wants and artificial needs

When there's beings on this earth living without basic necessities

Then have the nerve to complain about what we 'don't have'

You see it, but are you listening?
