Dear Society,
I hope that you like what you see
This is what you have done to me
You’ve ruined my mind, body and soul
You think you’ve done nothing but you’ve ruined me whole
I beg you to understand the collection I’ve put
You ignore me for years let me stamp my foot
A collection of things I have decided to show
At the end of this I hope you don’t think of me so low
The polluted air full of your lies
A struggling bird that never flies
A dead body dreading future earth
A tiny animal fearing future worth
Who knew this could happen to our world
Ruined land our destiny curled
