Oh a grand Earth was I
On which all creatures relied
But now I am upon ruins because of a deed
I am upon ruins because of human greed
My creatures now have started to disappear
And I have a fear that the end is near
Oh how humans they ignore
The fact that I can't take anymore
The heat of the sun gets stronger every day
Maybe I'm not here to stay
My creatures are sick because of dirty seas
And many more are hurt as humans drill holes in me
Humans are drilling into my soul
Soon after nothing remain but a hole
I might be close to my death
Soon I'll breath my very last breath
