The future foretold in glistening spheres;
natureโs small gems more precious than gold.
Is this a warning predicted by tears,
the future foretold?
Pollution runs rampant, waste uncontrolled,
solutions ignored over the years;
we sit silently by as our birthright is sold.
Heads in the sand, hiding our fears,
watching the death of our planet unfold.
The cries of the earth fall on deaf ears.
The future foretold.
