The Car

THE CAR

The sound of chainsaws buzzing’ A’ Crack’ a tree falls down,

Tractors revving’ to clear the place’ the green is churned into brown,

They are building a Shopping centre on the outskirts of town’ they say’

Who cares about the scenery, it’s money they want today,

They are also building a parking ground’ a garage they’re building as well,

And with the garage and a Showroom’ with brand new cars to sell’

This is our glorification’ this is achievement’ they say’

The CAR’ Mans greatest creation’ with reverence it’s treated today.



We enter our time saving capsule, we travel at a reckless pace,

Everything we do is in a hurry’ uncaring we always race,

We are oblivious to life around us, when we enter our highly polished car,

It power and speed beguiles us’ how fast we can travel’ and how far,

With all that power beneath your feet’ it’s excitement some can’t quell’

Transforming fools in the drivers seat, to a road hog’ a thing from hell,

Road rage to days common place’ when you travel by road in a car,

You seldom see a smiling face’ they scowl preparing for war,



Do you actually know what is happening’ you in your sacred car’

It blood of the earth your burning’ like leeches’ you’ll go too far,

Can’t you see what will happen’ when the world runs out of oil,

No aeroplanes to take you on holiday’ no tractors to till the soil,

We can’t leave the oil wells empty’ when the oil is no longer there,

Filling the well with water’ it will seep through rock and wear.

The well will then be weakened’ inevitably it has to cave in,

Most are bigger than lakes in land’ tidal waves are bound to begin,

Is there no end to our ignorance of how smart we think we are,

Profit making is all the thing’ our greed’ it goes to far,



Why can’t all the countries combine and be as one,

And make an effort to reach the stars’ before the earth is done,

For polluting Earth is what we do’ we poison the very seas,

Killing all wildlife with insecticides’ We’ve lessened the birds and bees,

We also kill all insects and worms’ all these we need to survive

To clean the mess we are creating’ and keep this planet alive,

Get rid of all the pollutants and give the earth a chance,

She’s been a MOTHER’ for millions of years ’ before germinating a MAN,

Are we to be her downfall’ was this how it was meant to be,

Did she give birth to her Nemesis’ her death we are likely to see,



For when the end is coming’ our demise will be as well,

Our GODS will turn their backs on us’ we’ll all end up in hell,

For we are known destroyers’ we ruin everything we touch,

This planet has given us all she has’ we should give her just as much.!
