We all used to live on a revolving paradise
But because of human greed and thoughtlessness

Mother Earth now doesn’t look so nice

The Earth’s population must stop and think what it is doing
Before the Earth is just another spinning ‘space’ ruin

We all must take from the Earth what we actually need

And not stockpile our homes with objects we don’t really need

Most modern goods require heat and fumes in their manufacture

And this very thing causing the Earth’s atmosphere to fracture

It’s a case of choosing a simpler life

Or be prepared for the coming strife.
