Global Warning

Arrogance blinds us, we fail to see,
The interconnectedness of life's tapestry.
Believing we're superior, we act carelessly,
Leaving a shattered ecosystem in our pride's decree.

Coveting more, never content,
Exploiting Earth's treasures, with no relent.
Profits and possessions, our sole intent,
Leaving behind a planet that's irreversibly spent.

Temptation blinds us to the Earth's plea,
Consuming resources recklessly, with no decree.
Desire for excess, a toxic spree,
Leads to a world devoid of sustainability.

Anger burns, fueling destruction's might,
With nature as our target, we fight.
In our fury, we dim the planet's light,
Leaving behind scars, unable to make things right.

Feasting upon nature's bountiful array,
Indulging in excess, day by day.
Food and resources, we squander away,
Leaving a barren land where nothing can stay.

Consumed by envy's green gaze,
We desire what others possess in a haze.
Competing and consuming in unsustainable ways,
Leaving a planet plundered in envy's craze.

Inertia binds us, we fail to act,
Ignoring the warnings, turning a blind pact.
Time slips away, as we choose to retract,
Leaving sustainability a dream we've lacked.

Each sin, a shadow cast on sustainability's plight,
It's time to awaken, to set things right.
With mindful choices, we can bring back the light,
And forge a future where sustainability takes flight.
