The Inhuman Human


People nowadays are only thinking

About themselves, their valuable stuff

Their family, parents, kids, friends

Their technological advances, phones machines

Their future, Their countries, their knowledge 

 

If we learn what happened in the past

we will know humanity was, and is cruel

Having issues and wars everywhere, every time

We have even dropped two nuclear bombs,

Causing hundreds of thousands of diseases

 

Why are humans so selfish?

Thinking about everything they have, while others suffer 

Thinking about themselves, while millions are whishing to have a good life

Focusing on their future, while millions, because of their situation,

will, unfortunately,  not have a future

Focusing on our food, while millions and millions are starving

and some are working all day to survive

 

Also, nature give us al we have

From our food, our clothing

our jewelry, our benefits

our technologies, our oxygen

our water, our lives

Nature is very important to all the living creatures

 

Without all our food, we would die of hunger

Without our water and oceans we would die of dehydration

Without plants and trees, we will have lack of oxygen, and we would die

Without our shelters, homes and biuldings, we would be vulnerable

Without bees, almost every crop and every flower would be affected

Without ants, food chains would disappear

Without glaciers, sea level would significantly rise

Without forests, oxygen would not be present

 

And... Without humans?

Earth would not face contamination

Forests would not be transformed into desserts

Glaciers will not melt due of pollution

Thousands of species will not face extinction

Plastic will not remain in oceans for centuries

 

In conclusion, We are killing the Earth

We need to change our minds

For a better future

Not only for us, but for future generations

Lets make good decisions

Lets save and clean our Earth

Lets use our advantages our knowledge

Because, believe me, it´s really worth it
