this world is vast and holds great things
its beauty is immeasurable
these things i see most everyday
looking out they strike me blind
so many others never see as me
look unto the world without glee
for when i look out my window
i see what took forever to be
our world is fragile yet we don’t care
destroying it like breathing air
we chop and burn blow up and mine
changing what took forever to find
this beauty slowly disappearing
right before my very eyes
looking out my window here
how long until its no longer there
the trees all gone the landscape bare
raped of all its had to give
we take and we think nothing of it
never seeing the future that will bear
the horrid ugliness and dispair
never will we seem to care

i can’t believe
it goes so fast
just disappears
like cutting grass
so beautiful
now laid to waste
what will we do
how can we change
