YOU'RE AS GUILTY AS ME
I'm as guilty as you, you're as guilty as me
I do it to you, you do it to me
I'm here; you're there, don't think, don't care
More speed, less haste, more thought, less waste
Day by day, our planets dying
To save it, were not even trying
'Save it', I cry t do you listen
N, you're too busy on a mission
The day will come, when it's too late
We'll realise then, our awful fate
But with damage done and stage all set
Our just deserts we'll surly get
No more work for us to toil
When nothing's left for us to spoil
We'd have killed this earth, destroyed our habitat
'Stop' and pause for a moment..........just think of that.
