The moon is distant.
The stars keep their distance.
Trees and grass retreat from sight.
The ice caps recede daily.
Soon they will be memories
of the destruction, we have wrought.
ALL WILL BE GONE

THE LAST TREE
Source:weheartit.com
I face the wind
Each day I wait
As time passes
People come and go
Trees fall
Dying animals cry
Buildings replace rolling hills
Fewer trees dot the landscape
Polluted water fills the oceans
Mankind has made drastic changes
Stop before it’s too late
I refuse to be the last tree standing
PATH TO OUR OWN DESTRUCTION
Source:moan-s
Humanity has overgrown its boundaries.
Its reach has surpassed all expectations.
We are herded into buildings like cattle.
On subways, we are packed like sardines.
Mankind spreads to devour new areas,
To bring the world under its deadly reign.
Why not spoil the open spaces, we ask,
until they resemble our version of hell?
The ocean bears our garbage and refuse,
While the horizon dims from the smog.
We puff on our cigars and cars
Until our sins are hidden by a smoke screen.
When will we say enough is enough?
It is time to replenish what we have taken.
It’s past time to rebuild and sow.
We must save the animals going extinct,
And feed our countrymen who live on the streets.
Will this happen in our lifetimes?
We know the answer to this question.
Unless something drastic is done,
we will continue on this path
to our own destruction.
