The world is crumbling before our eyes

The end result one cannot deny

They look away so they do not spy

The way the world burns, the way it dies

Oceans boil and broil about

Oil coats them, garbage too

The sea, it’s filthy, no longer so blue.

Forests felled and never replaced

With fear the sight makes heart race

As the industry grows apace

And our fate draws ever near.

But we are blind. We do not hear.

Or perhaps we do. That silent cry

The way the world proclaims it dies

The way we watch the sweeping tide

As the shame we try to hide.

Ignorance is bliss, some might say.

If ever it was true , it’s on this day

The day the world dies

And still we say all is okay.
