Save Our Earth

Deforestation is quite the bad temptation
When a capitalist sees a tree
That is growing in glee
They say “Hey, come take it down with me!”
Happiness devolves into sadness
As we strip Earth of all its liveliness
An activist starts a protest:
“Give Earth all its clothes back!
Our picturesque marine life
Soon will have no life
We buy flowers from a florist
They’re from our dying forest
A cow should not bow
A sheep should leap
And we should not keep
The leaves that they eat!”
In an alternate reality,
Everything’s made sustainably
Their Earth hasn’t been failed
So all of humanity prevailed
