WORDS
We consume, we consume
We ignore the warnings
We push and push
And take and take
And gut and burn
And scratch away
The foundation- of our home
But the earth will live
After we kill us

So many before
So many extinct
So many before
So many extinct
So why do we think we’re different

The signs abundant
As our earth was
The science has proven
Just what we have done
Yet money and greed spread faster, faster
Blinding us to the dire need to change
To change, to change
Yesterday.

So many before
So many extinct
So many before
So many extinct
So why do we think we’re different

All these minds, all this life
All our dreams to re-conceive
To reconnect
To learn to heal
To teach ourselves
What is real
Happiness doesn’t come in a package
And packages thrown away in the trash
They don’t, they don’t, they don’t
Disappear.

So many before
So many extinct…
