Do Something

This is the end all be all
How is it watching the fall?
It’s almost done
So who has won?

It’s planet Earth that lives on and on
Say goodbye or

Hang up the car keys
On and on eternity is coming to a finish
Why don’t you do something?

The world is waiting
Oil is spilling

Killing the animals
Ignorant people you are
Lie to yourself its not really here
Like science isn’t real

Our people are dieing don’t you realize?
Up and up the gases go
Ruining our home

Planet Earth
Love your family enough to save it?
Are you ready to change it?
Now is the time to turn out the lights
Experience the fight
Turn it around and make a world of a difference

The truth of the matter is that Earth will move on with or WITHOUT humans, it doesn't need us, but we need it, so we should show it some more respect and not abuse the resources it provides to us. Nature will find balance, and whether we're part of that or not is up to us and our actions.

By the way the first letter of each of the paragraphs spell a word and together they create a sentence. THIS IS HOW TO KILL OUR PLANET
