3000 years ago the world was a giant place.  expansive forests untouched lands  skies were for the birds, trees were forever and natures worst invention had yet to form a plan  but our population grew  and with it grew ambition and desire to conquer all we can  own what we cannot, throw the unnecessary away  today only 5% of the forests in our country exist  of what there was just 200 years ago  and beautiful feats of nature formed  by thousands of years of patient practice  are destroyed without a second thought for "precious" resources  that will make the economny grow  my grandparents had never seen a plane,  a skyscraper, or a motor car or a cellphone or tv  my parents worked so hard to destroy the gifts given to us  now my grandchildren will never see a tree  someday i'll take a small child  down to the last grass covered hill in my town  and say "the whole world was once like this and more"  but words and photographs won't make them understand  the dinosaurs have been around for thousands of more  years than we could ever hope to be  and isn't it ironic we're the ones destroying earth  instead of the planet killing me  a friend of mine used to deep sea dive  but he doesn't do it anymore  he get stears in his eyes when you ask him why and says  "the ugliest stretch of ocean floor 10 years ago  is a thousand times more beautiful than the most beautiful today"  that was just ten years ago  only ten fuckin' years ago
