Is it the end, or just the beginning of it?
Is it brought about by people who don't give a shit?
Is it Mother Nature culling the cause of her demise?
Removing the pollutants from out of her skies?
Whatever the reasons its targeting mankind
Taking the life from the more vulnerable it finds
But who says this disease won't get those who are stronger?
As it stays in our lives for longer and longer
What is certain its not interested in any other breed
It preys on us humans to satisfy its need
So, is this a message that we all need to hear?
As we live in the life with our newfound fear
Or will we ignore a message that appears to be clear
And lose everything that we have ever held dear
Its not about buying everything we can possibly find
Its about being respectful, grateful and especially kind.
The world is not ours; it belongs to us all
We need to be as one, as divided we will fall
We are only one species, who stands on this rock
We are one small part of a significant flock
So, listen to this message that is significantly loud
Our behaviour is not something for which we should be proud
This message has clearly singled us out
Its surely left us without any doubt
We need to change that is definitely clear
Unless we no longer wish to be here
The planet has lost all of its good will
And developed a virus which is designed to kill
It won't kill us all; we have a chance to decide
We can change our ways or continue to hide
From the virus that's sent as a wake up call
To be kind to the planet, or death to you all.
