Under The Clouds

It’s a weird world underneath the clouds,
The blue sky is so bright it can warm anyone's soul,
But we pollute it with dark fumes, that take away our warmth,
The ocean glistens with the beauty of 100 diamonds,
But we leach all its life, taking its inhabitants with force,
Rainforests are abundant, with life and allure,
But we rob its air, its heart with murderous violence,
Animals prance, and sing songs of harmony,
But we ransack their food, while we sit in corpulence,
Why do we have to destroy our home?
Full of awe and wonder,
Why do we have to murder our home?
All a blaze and plunder,
It used to be beautiful,
It used to be amazing,
But now it's gone...
