Heal

 

If we ignore our world

and drown out its screams,

it will burn, it will slow its turn,

it will end our hopeless dreams.

It will stop giving,

stop providing for us.

If we ignore the world

and coat its lungs in polluted dust.

 

If we ignore its pleas

she will have us on our knees,

begging for mercy,

begging for what life used to be.

If we keep taking without replacing

the end will hasten, but will we listen?

 

If we ignore the signs,

the arrows pointing down in decline

then our world will soon become a shrine

to what used to be.

What previously showed us beauty,

will show only neglect.

damaged and wrecked landscapes,

if we keep marching forward unchecked.

 

The world is sick,

wrap her up warm,

she needs medicine quick.

If we ignore the symptoms

then things will get much worse,

we need to provide TLC

to keep our little corner of the universe.
