So that’s it, right? Let’s just pretend,
ignore the harm we refuse to amend.
Is it ignorance or a lack of sense, to not see the world in such deep suspense?
I’m not here to throw out blame,
But someone must carry the shame.
Litter on the ground, you call that alright?
You pay waste taxes, does that make it polite?
Child of Mother Nature, can’t you see?
The changes in climate, the catastrophe
Fires raging, forests fall
Biodiversity, we’re losing it all.
Like I said, I don’t blame just one, but someone must answer for what’s been done.
Extinction rises; we’re killing our own
Shouting Save the Climate, yet standing alone.
Ignoring advice, sustainability denied,
We cry when the cyclone takes us for a ride.
Alright, let’s talk adaptation’s the game,
Since mitigation we’ve left in shame
Prevention’s better than curing despair, but we can still act if we choose to care.
Plant a tree, recycle waste,
Speak for the Earth with a mindful taste.
Sing for the planet, raise your voice,
Advocate loud, make a conscious choice.
Like I said, I won’t blame just you,
But I’ll take the guilt, if that’s what’s due.

Não é que eu queira culpar alguém, mais alguém têm que levar a culpa
