the earth no second chance

The rush of gold
The poor just go
They don't think ahead
What life is worth?

They want a good life
Sacrifices they say
About health only secondary
Get the gold

Don't they know?
Life isn't made of gold
Life shouldn't be a bargaining tool
Short term gain long life health diseases

Will the poor learn?
They rich don't dirty hands
They sip champagne
Parties and networking

Environment is our home
We are put here to live learn it
Take good care of the ground we walk
For we don't get a second chance
When we destroy it for greed

The rush of gold
The dream of easy life
When we forget what we must do
The Earth will not give us a second chance
We destroy our environment; we pay with our lives
