This I beleive

[Taiga Vera Vladmira Rogers]

This I believe

That we are destroying our planet

One by One

Each and every person

Let’s not forget the animals

But at least when animals primarily ruled the planet

They didn’t have the audacity to ruin our only home

Only because using fossil fuels and etc is easier

The truth hurts and most don’t want the truth

When really we need to look in the mirror

And decide to make better decisions to protect mother earth

This I believe

That by deforestation we are destroying not only homes

But the true beauty of our home

We are getting rid of the few scenes in which we share memories

And enjoy the simplicity we’ve once had

When we destroy each and everyone one of those trees

Which is approximately 4 billion trees a year

I remember visiting this little forest reserve when I was little

My cousin and I would enjoy playing tag

Since we were only children

I’ve visited that same place recently only to find it destroyed

There’s litter everyone and the grass isn’t the same color anymore

It was an odd shade of yellow and brown

And the terrain looked as if mass destruction took a visit to it

Instead of it being a forest preserve

That it once was

It was only a wasteland ruined for a life time

If we truly cared about helping restore nature

And by we I mean everyone

Not just a few people here and there

Who sadly don’t have the connections to change anything

If we really cared and were motivated

As a country, continent and world

With a little bit of time we can help our earth

We need to learn

That not being energy efficient and fossil fuels

Are not the answer

Although the human race tends to learn slowly

We can’t afford to screw up

Because we only have one planet

We need to make a difference

In order to help keep nature intact

So that we can enjoy it when we’re not busy advancing

We need to make changes

Let’s not be known for the person who destroys I planet

We can change the world

And this I truly do believe
