Jeffree Skewes - Lungs are burning

Imagine we knew for too long

something was wrong

Earth's lungs are now burning

alps become mush heat goes up

insects and ants invade tundra

corruption the game 

vegans are blamed

borders go up to shame

displaced refugees by boat

still more come by air

solutions evade politicians

people now see

where Woodstock was going

poets artists musicians activists 

kept singing a change is coming

you may say I'm a dreamer 

but life really is for living

the same wars keep raging

fuel and arms still selling

demonstrations raging

fascism is growing

hate speech defended

leader's insanity applause

trees and bees are vanishing

plastic and garbage 

a commodity 

smoke and drought 

now commonly 

stare back in our faces

desperately news reveals 

spins then fumbles 

online there's another warzone

confusion and radiation its cost

everything and nothing is lost

remember we knew 

then...
