Warrior's End

The wondrous world we live in
It's dying at the seams
Pollutions running to her daughter, Rubbish
Laughing at the dirty city streets
They’re not going to change their ways it seems
Ocean’s weeping, mourning the loss of her tribe
The fishes flabbergasted by the death of their friends
Plastic wounded bodies, this is not a warrior’s death!
Are you going to change, cruel world?
Air’s coughing, she’s swallowed enough gas
She’s sick of mining
Making her breeze toxic and not letting her pass
Are you going to change, cruel world?
To make Pollution thrive
To let the animals die
It’s up to you, cruel world
