Save The Earth

We're killing the earth and that's really sad,
No one believes us because we are mad,
Australia is turning to ash in a second,
Ask our koala's they'll tell you about it,
They'll tell you how they have lost all their homes,
While people turn blind eyes and tweet on their phone,
"Global warnings are an expensive little hoax",
For the last time this is not a joke.
Our factories are working in toxic emitting,
The ozone is crumbling and we won’t stop putting,
Chemicals in what we’re trying to breathe,
Our future is stolen and we are the thieves.
Sea levels are rising and icebergs are melting,
The coral reefs are dying and no one is helping,
Do you realise they keep the ocean alive?
This started back in 1985.
