Dumb Animals!

 

Dumb animals!

 

We've messed around with nature, cut down too many precious trees

Deforestation for profit, greed of mankind lost too many birds and bees

And because we've disrupted nature by burning fuels of fossil,

We've lost habitats of butterflies, plants, tigers, this loss is just colossal.

 

We've messed around with nature, caused some climate change

Losing the natural weathers' seasons; now it's acting very strange

And because we've interfered with nature, bringing wealth from palm oil,

We're leaving the earth in a sorry state; the world will be in turmoil.

 

We've messed around with nature causing so much air pollution,

Our planet earth will suffer beyond belief for future evolution..

We keep harming our nature, ecosystems will fight to stay alive

Through recklessness, our little creatures will struggle to survive.

 

We've messed around with nature; we are the dumbest animals!

We are weak, unkind and thoughtless, the changes caused are radical.

Meddling around with super-intelligent, we're our own worst enemy 

And nature has a habit of fighting back, we are our own adversary. 

 

We’ve messed around our treasured nature, so much plastic in the sea

The beach and meadows filled with leftover waste, so precariously, 

Polluted the skies, made bad air - our oceans now are rising,

We've messed it up so very much it will change the sun's horizon.

 

We've messed around with our much-loved nature with very little care;

If we keep hurting our mother earth it will soon be beyond repair.

The way we're spoiling our planet, the future has no guarantee.

The day will come when our hopes and dreams will be mixed up with the sea.
