Where are the tears?

Where are the tears?

Once upon a time there were footprints here
Of races of people and species that are gone now
And where are the tears?
There are none, because too few people care,
The inca's dissappeared killed by greed and fear
Their presence or their footprints are no longer been seen here,
White and black rhinos no longer exists,
The last of them died in 2018
Killed by greed and for ivory
Their presence or their footprint are no longer seen here
So many species on land and in the air and seas
Have disappeared and no longer exist
Their presence or their footprint are no longer be seen here
But where are the tears?
There are none, because to few people care,
How long will it be before other races are gone?
How much of the animal Kingdom
Be forced further into extinction?
Through ignorance and greed
Until so many no longer exist here
Their presence or their footprint are no longer be seen here
But where are the tears?
There are none, because to few people care,
Humanity has to change its ways step back from greed
And it's over populating ways
Clean up its act and stop polluting
Or one day
Our presence or our footprint will no longer be seen here
But where will be the tears?
There are none, because there will be people care.

People carry on unaware as if David Attenboroughs message doesn't apply to them. 12 years to avert unreversable climate change. Surely that doesn't apply to me? I'll just keep polluting and watching TV. The reality is it applies to each and every one if us to do what we can to reduce our carbon footprint and save our planet for future generations.  Great thought provoking write.  DD X
