A Paradise in Disguise

Look out the window, into the dark greys of buildings
Gaze some more, to see those gloomy shades
Many different shapes fill this bustling city
Yet, what if I told you there were other various forms of happiness,
unlike the rising of social media which claims a person
until it is their only constant thought, worry or more
There is another world out there, just existing in “peace”
This world of beauty, however much bloodshed there may be
For food or mating partner, a place to live it might be
This arena or paradise in question is
where this world's breathtaking fauna and flora reside
This amazing yet gruesome world survives just barely
You might be happy, filled with joy and life to see a lively convention
Yet this world might not survive
Rainforests and such, grasslands or more
Even the tiniest little shrubs might die out and leave Earth in devastation
We make way with big bulldozers, clearing land for parking lots
Leaving animals' food chains in shatters, ensuring our own demise
So before the problem called climate change is stretched further
Help us revive this once amazing and beautiful paradise
Before the problem becomes the death of us all
