Earth's Wounds

The Earth that is our home is in pain
And we humans are all the blame
Repeatedly stabbing its skin for treasure
Our greedy selves ripping its insides for leisure

The time has come to pay our fees
For destroying our lands we got for free
And now the clock is ticking
Waiting too long will be devastating

Death and destruction from floods and fire
Will bring fighting and famine making this dire
So why must we wait, deny, and bicker?
When knowledge and action is the real kicker!

So now we must all be doctors
Perform Earth’s surgery for our sons and daughters
So they can live on and push for peace
Knowing that we can pass worrying the least.
