S.O.S. Earth

S.O.S. Earth by L.A. & Kim I wish you all had known me in my better days when my greens were really green and my water pristine But since then men have burned my skin with never ending wars leading me to a demise like mercury or mars In other words, worn out, old and either too hot or too cold Millions have robbed me of my hidden treasures for cash Hence, my involuntary wrath of volcanic ash They have even exposed my veins to siphon my blood For fuel they leave my entrails to collapse beneath the mud Though I still take great pride in yielding fruit and its precious seed Each year it becomes more difficult for me to feed those that really need me It has become harder to navigate space since my eyesight has begun to fade due to old age So, if someone doesn't help me soon I will inevitably collide with Jupiter's moon I can hear the distant echoes of human voices saying that my better days are ahead I hope they really mean it or one day they may find me...dead All material © L&K Media Library. myspace.com/wordgenius
