World


I look and see what we have done 

Animals gone and layed to rest 

By the chains of greed and ignorance 

As we sit and watch 

Others are sufforing 

But they have no voice to say 

Stop this is my home and family 

I need this land to live 

But no we watch and look 

And pass by

But we do take action when others do 

To make us feel good that we helped 

For a while 

But what about next week 

Will you do the same 

Or will you pull a mask 

And watch as it falls 

And dies 

Till next time 

We see trees on a scren 

And ask why were we to late 

To save those in need
