The eyes of people do not see

The wrongs of justice in this world we live in

They do not see

The broken balance between humankind and the wonders of nature

Do you not hear the wails of the living beings that have nowhere to go

 when their homes are destroyed for human settlements?

Do you not see how skinny and underfed these starving animals

become because of global warming, the same global warming

that we have caused?

Do you not know how many animals die from choking on and

digesting the plastic we have made, which they mistook

as food?

Do you not feel a twinge of sympathy for the wonders of

this world that is crumbling by the second?

The eyes of the people do not see

We must open our eyes

We must reverse our blinded ways

Before it is too late

Before the world we live in changes completely

And the world we once knew

Disappears

Like whispers on the wind
