The
Crisis Which Lies Ahead
Give your head a
shake, for what's at stake
Is our planet and
it's eco-system
When they're gone
they're gone, do you know what's going on
So many problems to
even list 'em
The major problems
at hand and we all must take a stand
It's global warming
and ocean acidifcation
Not enough people
are learning, about fossil-fuel burning
The importance of,
remedial world legislation
Some may claim it's
a spoof, but there's overwhelming proof
A crisis caused by,
CO2 emmissions and green-house-effect gases
For whatever it's
worth, there are so many places on earth
Acidification and
climate change, are affecting the masses
Climate changes
causing drought and of this there's no doubt
Unproductive
farmlands becoming an outpost
There's no sense
pointing fingers, for the problem it lingers
The ones who
pollute the least, suffer the most
Also, there is no
denying, many of the world's coral reefs are a dying
Do some research
and check out the stats
A lot of the flora
and fauna that rely, have started to die
We've changed the
nature, of what Nature formats
Does anyone think,
what happens, when the icecaps they shrink
To the low-lying
island nations and land
With fish-stocks
depleting and a dead horse, continually beating
Where there is no
supply and there's only demand
Even in America
people don't know, local farmers, really can't grow
Their aquifers or
wells, have no water
And at the end of
the day, there is no other way
Than to abandon an
ancestrial farm, with no money, no produce and no fodder
There are many
coastal States, the fish catching abates
The small fishermen
are pondering their plight with annoyment
With their
investments out-on-a-limb and a future so dim
A life's career
out-to-sea, facing unemployment
Something has to be
done and done now and the only way how
The ulternative's a
whole lot of dread
Polluting countries
better start learning, they must drastically reduce, fossil-fuel
burning
'Cause for our
children's children the legacy we'll leave, is, a crisis which
definitely lies ahead
