We need to open our eyes, we’ve been blind to long,
Look what’s happening to us, there’s something very wrong.
Alone it won’t be done, we must do this together,
All of us take for granted a world we live in is forever.
Overlooking the pollution we pass by each day,
Leaving it to another to make it go away.
Poisoning the resources we must have to survive,
These things that we do, one day surely we will all die.
It’s now time to change, make a difference each one,
To save mankind, let’s all stand as one.
How much longer before it’s to late,
Why do we tempt the thing we call fate.?
It’s a crime what we are doing to the ground and our sky,
It’s time to stop now, it’s our time to make things right.
We can make it work if it gets done now,
To hesitate and delay will only bring sorrow.

Remember Cher’s song “If I Could Turn Back Time?” I like the poem but fear too many tipping points for various effects that will harm the planet and us have already passed. So listen to the song and know we cannot turn back time, so we better get cracking on changing how we live before…
