Will You Save Me Instead?


We are humans
But we love to destroy, 
Everything mother earth gave us.
Just look around you
and compare the area you used to live in;
Now industrial; 
No longer a serene life.

Money, wealth, and fame
that is all most of you care for;
As your conquest of success.
Dive deeper into the heart 
of suffering insecurities;
You will find 
poverty, pollution, and pessimism. 

I choose to save 
that child full of empty hope
I swear to adopt. 
No, I will not be responsible of increasing the population.
I care more for mother nature
Than just another lasting generation.

So if you care 
to save yourself,
to save lives against,
Earth's extreme exploitation
Make it a point 
To lay aside your 'family' by birth,
and adopt an orphan instead.
