We Have Been Told

In a century from now in this old town Will cars and trucks the streets buzz up and down Puffing their black smoke to the urban sky We have been told the oil wells are running dry? We have been told climate change is happening fast That humanity's better days are of the past For our abuse of our environment the price we must pay I only quote here what the experts do say. We abuse our Earth Mother who does serve us well But she can make life for us an Earthly Hell Of more cyclones and earthquakes we read of and hear Of the anger of Nature we've reason to fear. We have been told in the Planet climate change is taking place That Global warming is a huge threat to the human race The Polar ice caps melting and sea levels rise And things are much worse than we even realize.
