What If?


Listen to this story Of a land forward in time, Where a polar bear lives The last of his kind. He would wonder To and fro, And think what if Humans didn’t let global warming grow? What if the skies were blue And the seas were ice? All the animals would live happily, Wouldn’t that be nice? But now on the earth There’s barely any life. No dirt, just pavement; No forest, just lights. It is not fair We didn’t do anything wrong! But we animals have to pay, This has gone on far too long! The polar bear tries As hard as he might, But the humans do not listen, They think they’re alright. But the polar bear knows Deep down in his heart, If this doesn’t stop Everything will fall apart. The buildings they built Will come crashing down, And the factories will lose business Because there’s no one around. But right now the humans are in their houses, Because the temperature is so high, With their cool air machines blowing, Leaving us to die.
