The answer

December 2, 2019

The world is changing

getting hotter everyday

getting colder everyday

day after day.

 

do you know why?

did you know the answer lies within your daily life

cars, buses, deforestation

they messing up the air

but we cut down the trees

the only thing that will keep us alive

that’s like slitting our throats.

 

our world is dying 

because of our greed

because we are lazy

we want something to take us places

we want heat, energy

the cheapest way

well, it not very cheap at all.

 

now the trees around us have had enough

they contributing to climate change

they letting us suffocate 

the air is what we need

we don’t realease it

but we do.

 

The future lays within our hands

the future for your children 

the future for our planet 

we can stop climate change if we tried.
