So Many Look Up To The Wealthy

Why so many respect oil barons and mining magnates Is something I could never understand When these people only take from Mother Nature They foul her oceans and pollute her land. Because of them marine and land life becoming rarer And species becoming extinct every day For interfering with the environment There has to be a price as such to pay. So many wildborn creatures near extinction And animals and birds becoming rare Due to deforestation and mining and oil drilling And far too few for Nature seem to care. So many look up to the wealthy tycoons But somehow they do not seem to realize That they rob Mother Nature of her beauty Pollute the land and seas and smog the skies. Some have become billionaires out of stealing from Mother Nature And a most luxurious lifestyle they enjoy Still because of them the Planet all the poorer They pollute the land and sea and smog the sky. Those who look up to those who defile Nature Perhaps somehow don't seem to understand That because of them Planet Earth all the poorer Since they pollute the ocean and the land.
