Roots

People often choose,
To ignore the truth,
Just making a solution harder.
Time will catch us in this race,
Unless we do something.
We must not forget our roots,
Which we destroy everyday.
We are destroying our future,
For pieces of plastic and paper.
We may call ourselves smart,
Yet we’re smart enough,
To possibly destroy all life on Earth.
We are acting like a gold digger,
Using nature’s resources to get everything we desire,
But what happens when they’ve had enough,
When they leave us,
When they abandon us,
We will collapse unless we do something.
The resources are limited.
We must end our abuse to Earth.
