Sky, all because of our selfish greed, we
Are destroying earth out of self-seeking
Hunger for the things that we really do
Not need.
The sky is no longer clearly blue, only
A dingy hue, the rivers and streams are
Filled with debris, between Heaven
And earth a cloud of toxic waste, yes
We are destroying this planet and doing
So with increasing speed.
Our wetlands are taken away sold to build

Forest and streams that wildlife was free to
Roam, today it is where greedy people build
Million dollar homes.
