Our Toy

Mountains that reach the earth’s crust,

Great cities that go up in flames and dust.

Ancient trees that sway in the earth’s breeze,

World wars that send Rulers to their knees.

Wonderful wild life, great and small,

Giant bombs that can destroy all.

Bright blue oceans that lap around the green land,

People dieing cause they wanted to be tanned.

Amazing animals that can go faster and faster,

Many predictions and prophecies of disaster.

We want to burn our land and dry our seas,

We feel for know one, so all can not be.

We don’t care what we destroy,

This world is just our big toy.
