We cut trees,
Thick and green,
That was home to animals many,
From ant so tiny,
To leopard so ferocious,
For our greed that's limitless.
We build tall buildings,
That are taller than mountains,
But not higher than our egos,
With only purpose,
To fulfill our desires,
And appetite that's limitless.
Every inch of land,
Is burrowed and unearthed,
In search for gold and other precious stones,
Or for erecting magnificent palazzo,
To boost our pride,
And pretentious legacy.
Water is polluted,
Air is poisoned,
Soil is contaminated,
Due to our heinous actions,
And reactions to our sins,
Which we will one day pay for gravelly.
After years of torture,
When life is becoming extinct,
Humans have woken up,
And walking on the streets,
Giving emotional speeches,
While they continue to pollute the world.
With clock still ticking,
Words won't work,
Unless we commit,
Each one of us,
To make the world better,
Not just for generations to come,
But for animals,
Whose homes we have destroyed.
