The Price We Pay

By Angelic Demon

Our Earth is warming,
Our ice is melting,
We are slowly dying.
Policticians are lying,
Humans are ingnouring,
Our trees are falling, our polar bears drowning.

Water so clean it will will bring us to our knees,
We will claw for the surface and struggle to breathe.
As our world decays,
We sit around and play.
We chose not to fix this problem we have created.

Is your car worth it?
Is your cell phone worth it?
Is our Earth the price we are willing to pay for luxery?

    Its not worth it but most people don't seem to give a damn about our planet. People will always value themselves over most everything, and as long as they have their SUV's and their cellphones they wont give a fuck about our planet.. Its sad that our planet is dying and no one seems to care. Maybe we'll all get wiped out by a asteroid or something. :]
