must fall out of the sky
before we realize
there's no more light?
How many apples
must fall from a tree
before we realize
there's no more food?
How many more trees
must we chop down
before we realize
we're destroying our only home?
How many feelings
must we hurt,
before we realize
we're turning against ourselves?
How many people must die,
before we realize
we're killing ourselves?
How many children
must we abandon
before we realize
we're all alone?
And how many times
must we do something
before we realize
we're not changing anything?
