Flash Forward
Flash forward in time, what do you see?
 Life a mess, no bugs, not a single tree
 The world I’d grown to love all gone
 So I sent a letter from this time and on
 
 Listen carefully, please, if you care
 If you wish to see a fish or a springing hare
 Stop pollution, stop death and if time could freeze
 Please stop killing the buzzing bees
 
 The animals oh so big and small
 The mountains towering oh so tall
 The cool blue sea with whales and sand
 The food, I’m afraid, is rather bland
 
 But life is important, full of meaning
 And the world is dying, can’t stop bleeding
 The sun will burn and soon die out
 So I’m making a stand, I’m going to shout
 
 What if all the flowers die,
 And innocent people began to lie?
 The wild animals turned to dust,
 No more basking in the safety of trust
 
 Children crying, the worlds too hot
 And one last thing, I almost forgot
 I know it’s cruel but I’ve got something to say
 The world might not last another day
 
 So if you want  your great, great grandchildren to
 See the world then it’s up to you
 To look after this planet on which we roam
 And keep it safe to make their home
