"wake up"

The screams echo and my pleas increase

every moment I am stuck

here

I go through the cycle

with no enthusiasm because

I am supposed to,

but I refuse to be a hostage

to your evil

when the planet is dying

and the nature we love is rotting

and when they deny the truth,

the truth that grips at us

and sounds an alarm

but they all refuse to wake up;

luckily I have always been an early riser

and I am ready to speak out

because we refuse to connect

so the planet spins

oblivious,

or perhaps trying to forget

our betrayal.
