Child, Open your eyes, Watch this blood drenched sun rise, Look at the polluted forests, The death filled rivers, And weep! Weep my child, Weep for generations of ignorance, Weep for your pathetic inheritance, Weep for your children, Weep for our dieing planet! Let it be known, In times to come, That it was us that doomed the world, Not the world that doomed us, Do this for me child and I shall be grateful. Know now and always that we did this, Remember that, Never complain, Strive to make things better, Do that and you have done what we could not do. This once green world, Is brown with age, It is old before its time, It is sick, And we are the illness. We are the cancer at its heart, We are the ones, Wreathed in smoke and chemicals, That plucked life, From its giving arms! My child, You will never know a real world, Your world will be synthetic, Fake, And you will know no different. For you young one, Innocent one, I shed a tear, And return to the butchering of this planet, You are out only hope, Help us when we cannot help ourselves! Let the moonlight paint your face, let the stars be your cloak... |

"This once green world, Is brown with age, It is old before its time, It is sick, And we are the illness"- Love this verse. Great work. |
