I HATE
THE WARM THAT ADVANCES
WE DON’T HAVE TIME FOR ANY MORE CHANCES
I SEE THE HURRICANES ON THE NEWS
AND WONDER WHY WE KEEP AT ABUSE
I DON’T LIKE THE FEELING
OF THE WORLD REACHING A BRINK
WHEN NOTHING MORE CAN BE DONE
WHEN WE’LL REALLY START TO THINK
“YOU KNOW, PERHAPS THAT WASN’T
THE BEST THING TO DO.
MAYBE WE SHOULDN’T
HAVE
TAKEN AND USED.”
I’M SURE CONFUSED AND I WONDER WHY
EVERYONE HAS TO KEEP AT THIS LIE
THEY TELL THEMSELVES
THAT WE STILL HAVE TIME
TO FIX WHAT WE’VE MADE GO WRONG
BUT SOMETIME SOON,
YOU’LL GET A CLUE
TO STOP AND LOOK
AND REALIZE THAT IT’S ALREADY RESOLUTE
THAT YOU TOOK TOO LONG
TO TRULY REALIZE
THE DAMAGE THAT WAS DONE
AND THEN YOU WILL FEEL ALL SAD FOR YOURSELF
TO THINK THAT SOON, YOU’LL LEAVE THIS EARTH
BEGIN TO THINK WILL YOU-
“WHEN WILL WE TOTALLY FADE?”
BUT WHAT ABOUT THE THINGS THAT WERE HERE
BEFORE WE CAME TO DESPAIR AND LEER
WHAT ABOUT THE ANIMALS SO BLAMELESS?
THE FOX, THE SNAKE, RIGHT DOWN TO THE LYNX?
I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL, CAUSE I FEEL IT TOO.
THE FEEL THAT YOU’RE DOOMED, THAT YOU’LL SOON YOU WILL REACH
THE LAND THAT WAS UNKNOWN
AT THE POINT OF ALL DEVASTATION.
I HATE THE EMOTION
OF FEELING SO INCAPABLE
TOO BAD I CAN’T SAVE THE WORLD
IT’S TOO BAD THAT SEASONS
ARE GETTING MESSED UP
THAT WINTER WAS WARM
AND SUMMER WAS BLEAK
IT’S TOO BAD THAT THE LEAVES
ARE OUT TOO SOON
BUT A DAY LATER THE FROST COULD COME TOO
IT’S A SAD ORDEAL
THAT WE’RE MADE TO FACE
BUT GLOBAL WARMING IS REAL
AND WE’RE ABOUT TO SEE ITS FACE
