We've Damned Ourselves

I couldn't breathe for all of the toxic smoke
Air was poisoned, it was making me choke
I'm the last man standing and broken inside
The human species, but for me, has died
I was one who'd lingered, now lost at last
With the world burning, life turned ash
This world I'd loved, Earth is my home
And I stand here crying, forever alone
Knowing that after all, there's nothing
How once the anthems we could sing
For the vibrant beauty of our planet
But Earth is dying, life will vanish
Because of our choices taken
We made the world forsaken

"And I see more and more clearly that our
world will perish from its greed." Dimitar Dimov
