Dream Of The World

Inspired by @HeatherAnne post Saving Earth.....Too Late

Sad but it's so true
I guess it sucks to be you
No energies are flowing through
Sleeping to dream of the world we once grew

I lie down here in this shallow grave
All I can do is hope and I often pray
That the worms first eat away at my brain
Slowly forgetting that the world's in pain

Too late now for sustainable energies
Natural resources raped around me
Natural disasters echo her fears
Mother Earth bleeds her rivers of tears

Sad but it's so true
I guess it sucks to be you
No energies are flowing through
Sleeping to dream of the world I once knew

We stuck our heads in the ground
Heard her heartbeat but now it's machines that make sounds
Gold, oil, coal, and anything else we think will sell well
We're like human ants building our own graves to escape this living hell

Sad but it's so true
I guess it sucks to be you
No energies are flowing through
Sleeping to dream of the world we took from you

The world has moved on too fast
Everything quicker and we can't be last
Who cares when tomorrow hasn't passed?
Yesterday was the day when we should've stopped and asked
Today we see the signs but still force cows to graze on artificial grass

The power of wind turbines is blowing out of government's arses
Nobody cared when a handful had asked
What about the melting Polar ice caps, the ozone layer and the animals on the brink of extinction?
Act now for our children's future existence

Sad but it's so true
I guess it sucks to be you
No energies are flowing through
Sleeping to dream of a world we've patched up with glue
