The world is in peril

Thewordking Hljohnson

the world is in peril
a state of great dismay
we are filling up our air bubble
with poison gases every day
the faster we advance
with new technology
the sooner we will be begging
and praying on our knees
auto fumes and factory flames
keep filling up our skys
oceans polluted animals dying
acid rain blinding our eyes
societys engine roars
controling younger minds
we dont have a chance in hell
to even save one life
self destruction do to stupidity
seems to be the new world way
I just keep on hoping
we will live to see
just one more day
