What is the end, and when does it come,
is it a lifetime away or a quick beat of a drum?

It is our decisions that will make the call,
we must stop the warming once and for all.

The glaciers are melting right to the ground,
our earth is collapsing, just look around.

Look at the trees, wilted and brown,
and look at the grass, lifeless, rundown.

Animals extinct, breathless, erased,
the once beautiful outdoors soon to be waste.

What is the end, and when does it come,
is it a lifetime away or a quick beat of a drum?
