We evolved rapidly, riding on our distinction.
and pushed the rest to the edge of extinction
We made the blue planet spin toward a scary red future
Our price for playing God and messing with Mother Nature.
We boiled the oceans, without fire
refusing to curb our apathy and cold-hearted desire
We wonder why the tides rise higher and winds lash faster
even as we blame each other for every disaster
Will we slow down and pay heed?
Or has greed become our overbearing need?
Can green cool this hot crucible?
Or is it too late and the damage irreversible?
Will we do it differently if we start over again
Will we give this earth a better bargain?
“How dare you?” roars Mother Nature for taking her down this slope
She can’t bear another pain, a melting hope
