A Grim Future

A desolate landscape
All barren and bare
A deserted world
Smog everywhere

Long gone are the days of trees
Flowers and bushes too
A waste covered backdrop
The reality's true

In a carbon choked atmosphere
With no life to be found
One just has to remember the humans
Who ran this place to the ground

Climate change is not a myth
We’re killing the Earth for our satisfaction
So let's save the planet while we can
And not regret our inaction
