My planet is in a crisis
It’s slowly burning down
We are all feeling the effects
In every city and town
Temperatures are rising
Icebergs are falling apart
The sight of forest fires
Is an arrow through my heart
Short-sightedness of humans
Has disrupted all lives
Birds and plants and animals
Only the fittest survives
Then there are other disasters
That have a natural birth
A way of warning humans
About this planet’s worth
Not a lot of time left now
Before we will all be gone
My planet is in a crisis
How is yours going on?
