This planet is obese
Complacent in our ways
Mankind’s behaviour
Brings on end of days
.
No moonlight now
Just artificial light
No space free
Of engined flight
.
Seas choking on floating
plastic waste
What do we sense?
What’s pure taste?
.
Perpetual growing
Air con, heating
No sign of slowing
Glaciers retreating
.
With this hot hot gas
Its unsurprising
Rivers run dry
Oceans keep rising
.
What’s been done’s done
We’re where we’re at
Time to stop expanding
Stop the world getting fat
.
Stop! Look around
Make the connection
Time to slow down
Time for less action
.
Open our mouths
Chorus together
This planet is dying
Not under the weather.
