In Human Successes

In human successes in medicine, science and technology a reason for some pride But in the name of progress the natural environment is being destroyed What we do to our Earth Mother to our own selves we do I may have caused environmental damage but then so too have you The Earth that feeds us we do not own since to the Earth we do belong And anyone who tells you differently has surely got it wrong And whether we are cremated or buried for to decay To Mother Earth who feeds us we will return one day Jobs at the expense of the Natural Environment for the long term is not wise When we abuse the Earth that feeds us too few seem to realize That for the mistakes we do make future generations will have to pay Us humans are our own worst enemies and this does seem sad to say That we continue burning fossil fuels to say the least seems strange One of the main causes of Global Warming in this time of Climate Change.
