The land is dying
She's silently crying
There's no point denying
If to ourselves we keep lying
That our climate we're frying
That our lakes we're drying
Our oceans we're toxifying
With our water levels rising
We've spent decades advising
But are we honestly trying
Or are we endlessly justifying
Many good men decrying
While greedy men are vying
With all their advertising
Each other's fortunes eyeing
Intent on land buying
Ever deviously devising
Ways of capitalizing
Seldom compromising
Regulations defying
And simply not complying
With excuses replying
Their wealth satisfying
For more power desiring
On the world they're spying
Rights' Groups they're demonizing
No need for future scrying
The Planet we're crucifying
On our Land
There'll be no more relying
People are not realizing
Or simply fantasizing
That if we keep on applying
This notion of self-gratifying
The Land will slowly keep dying
And dying -
And dead!
