Do you know the story of species
Who wants to reach far galaxies
But choking their homeland with toxicities
Incarnation of ambition and responsibilities
----------------------
Even fools realize to touch the skies
Need a ground that you jump from to rise
Block the polluters stop political lies
Or lose your take off ramp otherwise
----------------------
Instead of fixing what you brought
Searching new places to repeat sane fault
Never forget what you were taught
Infinite desire ends up with draught
----------------------
Days always pass
Wise advice rarely comes
Consume less be benevolent once
Or else it will be your own demise
--------------------------------------------
