I should have posted these lyrics earlier. I put this to music yesterday but it could be a lot better. It's an easy write but I have limited technical abilities (as of yet) to present it properly.
YOU are invited to give it a whack
Extinction Looms
Extinction looms,
In these dangerous times,
For many species in diverse climes.
Climate change and toxic soils,
Water contaminated by salts and oils,
Fracking flowback and free methane,
Hundreds of chemicals, with scientific names,
Are poisoning our air and our waters too.
Our scientists are freaking out.
Our politicians don’t have a clue.
Business as usual fits them,
Like a comfy old shoe.
Some folks are saying,
And a lot of folks are praying
That we gotta stop delaying
Changing the course on which we’re staying
'
‘Cause it looks like where we’re flying,
Is the place that we’ll be dying’
And there won’t be time for crying
When God’s little experiment – "Life on Earth"
GOES WRONG
And our planet’s dead and gone
And our Creator shuts the whole thing
DOWN

Yes! This! I see the world crashing around and attempt to do what I can, but it feels hopeless. Your words capture that feeling well.
