I see an empty sky, brown lawns,
I see a landscape without flowers
or trees —
just dust and fire.

The sun is blazing hot.

I see baby birds dying in their nests,
penguins washing up lifeless on the sand,
cattle dropping to the ground and
crops withering in the fields.

There is no more water.

I see a beautiful world pushed
to the point of no return,
and I see people
turning away from the images.

There is no other planet.

I want to open my window,
scream and plead:
time is running out,
we have to do something!

Our planet needs us and we need our planet.
