Some place very far away

Where flowers bloom and animals roam astray

Where we are free to roam around

and there are many logs free to lounge,

Where the horizon sets across

The great blue sea and mother nature is the boss

Animals are dying because of us

And trees are killed faster than rap songs cuss

Innocent creatures lives are taken

Leaving mother bears’ hearts breaking

And eaten are the plastic pieces

The rubbish things all full of greases

And breathing has become a battle

For all the birds and all the cattle

With no fresh air and no fresh water

These little creatures wait while we all talk and totter

But the truth is there is no time to waste

In a couple years animals will be erased

From the planet we all know

And the winter will have no snow

The children will never be grown

If the right path is not shown

2040 is the year

Where we may all shed our last tear

Where death is all that is left for us

And never will another dusk

Come over all of us as one

And no child again will have fun

Flowers will die

Babies will cry

And it will be too late

For we will have met our fate

If nothing can be done and no one will lend

Some kind of a helping hand…

2040 is the end…

Yes my friend, it is the end.
