Poisoned Blood by XS (i can read book club .txt) 📕

They took from her again
Like termites eating away
At the foundation of a building
Until it collapses upon itself.

They drain her of her blood
Calling it a natural resource
That they 'll burn and convert
To poison powerful enough
To drill holes in the sky.

It's payback for the holes
They drill into her skin
In the bigger picture of it all
There is no separation
Between earth and sky.

She provides to us in purity
What our greed transforms to filth
Water no longer drinkable
Air no longer breathable
Sunlight no longer tolerable
We're tightening our own noose.

All in the name of money
We sold our home to thieves
Who will be there to shelter us
When all we're left with is our needs?

We brought it upon ourselves
Our apathy paved the way
To a world of destruction
We see before us
We dug ourselves into
Our own grave.

Time is of the essence
It's a minute before too late
Natural catastrophes are on the horizon
Wake up now - you can't afford to wait.
