Politics over need

People play politics

Over climate change

Dirty fuel backers

Love their gravy train

They can’t see past their greed

Cannot see that the planet is in need

Of a change of direction

And greener way

So it’s time to put your politics and greed away

See the real truth that you are trying to deny

Humanity is the reason why

Our planet is polluted

And choked with wires and plugs

Through exploitation our graves are being dug

Because raping this earth can only be done so much

And showing it a lack of love

And as the icebergs melt and the seas rise

And we view constant species demise

As we witness the plastic build up spreading like a disease

I wonder what it will take for you to see

The error of your ways and the insanity

Of allowing corporations to continue to cut down trees

In a need to graze cattle for them to breed

A policy borne out of stupidity

Based and rooted in a simple thought of pursuing their greed

They are now playing politics over humanity and earth’s needs

We need to show that they can’t just do as they please

Don’t be placated or appeased

By the lies they tell you so that they can feed

Their hunger for power and for greed

All for them not for all society

Don’t become as blind as them so that you can’t see.
