Dark Times

Dark times are among us
Wars, and protests are all we know
Viruses and Pollution
Everyone is filled with woe
The trees cry for help
The ocean is dying
The air is filled with toxic gas
And the rulers keep denying
Animals are getting low
For people are hunting their skin
The hunger amongst out people
Is beginning to sink right in
The earth gets worse everyday
And we are the ones to blame
We need to leave this world
In a better place, than when we came
