An orb turning in space
Turning, spinning around itself
Around a star
In a galaxy moving through a Universe
Marked by existence
Crusts forming and breaking, colliding
Moving creation on still
Sharp ridges, vast mountains and valleys,
volcanoes and spattered foothills
Mark of movement
Seas swelling, trees forming, life moving
Water cascading from high
Life welcomed by song every morning
Gently kissed by still hush every night
Mark of time
Now mankind enjoys toys of all sorts
And flavours to savour at will
Fine items to dress up existence
Excess like a pick-me-up pill
Man marks time
And boils heave with hubris from cities
Choking on laden air
Scorched, scarred and pitted because mankind
Uses power and toys without care
The beauty of being is here for us
To explore whilst we're living on Earth
But we must review our excesses
To make mankinds' mark worthy of birth

When I was younger
I could gaze
Into a sea of blue
Above my head
Eternity
Again life shone anew
Now later years
Our Sun obscured
Colours aren't quite as bright
For now above a web of puff
For our foreign delights
As the Moon draws on
The tide rising high
A home has been built
On a marsh now run dry
If rising water
Is part of the game
Will it be Moon or mankind
We'll call on to blame?
The fire we need to fuel our lives
Of flick on light and power that drives
Costs the Earth
It's costing lives
So raise a hand
Don't just stand by
The air we breathe
Imprint of man
Poisons purchased in a can
Ah yes water, the stuff of life
Without clean water theirs' is strife
There they suffer for want of rain
Here clean water is food for drains
Earth's awesome surface
Amazing creatures
Beautiful plants
Breathtaking features
In danger now
Raped, pillaged and poisoned
Will we carry on
Till our blame is proven?
