Our World Are You a Keeper or a Killer?

Can we save the earth

Our World Are You a Keeper or a Killer?

We’re killing our world — can’t you see?

The skies grow heavy, the poisoned sea.

Forests fall and rivers choke,

While silent creatures vanish like smoke.

Did your hands plant a seed or wield a knife?

Did you shield the earth or steal its life?

Are your footprints light upon the land,

Or do they scar the soil like a heavy hand?

The world is breaking, slow but loud,

Beneath the weight of greed’s dark cloud.

So ask yourself, both night and day —

Did you help to heal or strip away?

A keeper or a killer, which are you?

The answer lies in what you do.

Is there blood on all our hands?

Are we polluting our precious lands.
