| Tree Towering in the sky Looking down over me A lone majestic tree Growing near the sea Some people ask why Life on earth we share The trees produce air We cut them down everywhere All under the big blue sky Life gets along well with life Man can’t seem to cause but strife No good reason for man to take a life But sometimes we forget why We forget what keeps us alive Life keeps us alive. Man should help man survive. We’re in this together Man against the sun at noon Man against the chill under the moon Man always needs man’s help soon It should be man against the weather But when we fight each other we die When we fight each other children cry At the funerals, mothers have to say good bye. We need to work together It’s time for a change; no more of the same We need to work together for a game. Man needs to grow, become sane. So ask yourself why Why do we need to work together? If we step up we can control things well If we don’t stop the abuse, Earth could become a living hell. Or worse, Earth could become a burnt out shell. The lone tree will be dead. We may be dead too. So rise up man, stop the pollution of Earth, We need to work together to protect the Earth We need man to be friendlier to Mother Earth We need to protect the place of man's birth. ©2009 Carl Watts www.carlwattsartist.com |
