Our Broken World
Do you not sympathize for my deterioration?
Do you not see what you are doing to me?
My surface is cracking from the droughts that tear me apart
My air is hard to breathe in
The glaring sun is burning my body apart
Fire comes out of me
My astonishing mountains are stripped of the snow they crave so deeply
Nothing is lasting
How must I carry on?
When humans overlook all that I do
My luxurious green jewelry that decorates my surface have been chopped down
Axes, Saws, and Grinders rip them from their land
How do you think they feel?
With every piece of trash thrown away there is less and less room for us
With every factory that is built my lungs are filled with dust
The air becomes heavy and soon it will be impossible to breathe
Please let me rest for I will not last forever
Do you see how much pain I am in
So many of my precious species driven to extinction
I cry and cry everyday but my rains are simply evaporated away
Despite this I still have one hope
Hope that consumes me that brings me happiness
The hope that I can rejuvenate myself with my tears
I place dew drops on the grass every night
And everyday it fails so I cry again
Maybe one day my dew drops will cleanse the world and I will be whole again
One day, one day, one day.
