Earth

What's life about one has to ask since we are born to die Immortality for the good souls post bodily death may be based on a lie People for their gene survival help to create life in this overpopulated Human World of today To compete for jobs and material success does life have to be this way? In the big town on the wide streets cars and trucks buzzing to and fro To the Earth that does feed us human inventions have become a foe Carbon emissions and environmental pollution increasing by the day For jobs and more jobs it doesseem the natural environment has to pay All in the name of progress it should not be a source for joy That our Earth Mother who feeds us we are trying to destroy But we shall not destroy Mother Earth though to do so we do strive It is our own selves we will destroy Earth Mother will survive For jobs, success and material wealth us humans do compete And all day long cars, trucks and buses buzz up and down the street Us humans from the horse and cart have come quite a long way But for this for future generations of human beings there will be some price to pay To human progress many species of wildlife have been lost And the achievements of our kind does not come without cost What we do to our Earth Mother to our own selves we do And this applies to everyone as well as me and you.
