Hello World

hello world

it's been a self-destruct

the global warming

and the pollutions

mother Earth

her resilience

she the only hope

for the ruins we've caused

whether the matter concerns you big

whether it concerns you small

nature cannot be cheated

that I can tell for sure

human made fire

it was in the stone age era

bring it forward to now

the trees are getting burnt down

man and sweet nature collide

the quality of air declines

our well-being suffer

this thing is getting sour

let's reason it together

stop the arson

hold against the axe of deforestation

the ozone departs in layers

its been a heatwave disaster

the icebergs are melting

the green fields are fading

the flood gate is opened

the sky must be weeping

it is time to stop and think

time to remove toxicity

care is what she needs

in her breath we live

nature is supreme

in the beginning

there in the garden

she made a wish

to bloom her flower in bounty

this I am eager to see

hello world

it's been a self-destruct

the global warming

and the pollutions

mother earth

her resilience

she the only hope

for the ruins we've caused
