There is nowhere left to run and hide,
We have nearly reached the end of our ride.
Through our greed and over-prosperity,
We have endangered humanity,
While we drive in our climate controlled cars,
The atmosphere around us falls apart.
Useless wants, fill our minds,
They pollute our hearts and remove what’s kind,
We fight for what we do not need,
With Earth left to beg and plead,
‘Stop, stop’ she cries.
So listen up one and all,
For these three words could change the world,
Remember them and remember them well,
Reduce… Reuse…Recycle.
