Will We Survive?

Will We Survive?

Our world is transforming at a rapid pace
It is spiraling out of control
Your home is decaying
Your mother is weeping
Pleading
Crying
Screaming
For you to open your eyes and ears 
And watch your world deteriorate

You have forgotten how to live
How to heal
You have become irresponsible
Selfish, vain
You forget that nothing can last forever
Time isn’t endless
If you do not change your ways now
Life will cease to exist

You are committing suicide
Killing off everything you’ve ever known
Leaving the mountains to crumble
Leaving the woods to a whisper
Draining the lakes and rivers
That we drink from
You have lost your appreciation for life

Now wipe the tears from your eyes
And swallow your sadness
Maybe now you’ll see things the way they are
Ask yourself:
What is the point of everything humans have done?
What is the point of anything?
If the world is no longer here, neither are we
Everyone is oblivious of their actions

We are going to suffer 
And that is our only future
That is what you have left me
And my generation
To figure out for ourselves
You have left us the crisis you created
In hopes we’ll solve it for you
It is the truth
You are killing our youth
