Watch the pride for our planet fade away as it's stay declines faster by the day How did we not see this coming? It seems all we're doing is running As the glaciers melt, the animals die thoughts that could make anyone cry We say we'll do something when it catches our eye Then we forget, then we do nothing The truth is we did see it coming, so why why did we not stop, why did we not try? Because we don't care, the future disregarded The present is everything, so let's finish what we started Watch as, the oil supply runs dry Watch as, the forests continue to die Watch as, we blacken out the sky Watch as, we kiss the world goodbye Wars are fought over nothing but oil In denial we destroy our own soil If it isn't our fault, what's with the defensive recoil? The questions throw you towards inner turmoil Watch the pride for our planet fade away as it's state declines faster by the day How did we not see this coming? It seems all we're doing is running As the glaciers melt, the animals die thoughts that could make anyone cry We say we'll do something when it catches our eye Then we forget, then we do nothing |

Welcome to Passions, Barron. It was hard for me to decide on an appropriate special email to send to you, but do look for one, and I think I may make it memorable! Welcome again, and please check your email for that Very Special Welcome! " It matters not this distance now " Excerpt, Yesterday's Love |

no matter which side of the debate you stand on, nothing is ever that simple but these arguments still... must be made well done |

Welcome to Passions, Barron.  It's good to see someone taking up the cause for a planet who can not speak for itself. I appreciated and enjoyed your thoughts in this. Best wishes, /Kit |

A sad (yet well-written) commentary on the present state of Earth's natural affairs and mankind's apathy, in general. Hi, there, Barron! Welcome aboard the Pip Ship as I affectionately call this home away from home!  Giving you a warm, welcoming pip hug, Earth Angel  |
