Dear Future Generations,
I think I speak for the rest of us when I say
Sorry, sorry we left you with our mess of a planet
Sorry that we were too caught up in our own doings to do something
Dear Future Generations,
I think I speak for the rest of us when I say
Sorry, sorry we left you with our mess of a planet
Sorry that we were too caught up in our own doings to do something
Sorry we listened to people who made excuses
To do nothing
I hope you forgive us
We just didn't realize how special the earth was
Like a marriage going wrong
We didn't know what we had until it was gone
For example
I'm guessing you probably know what is the Amazon Desert, right?
Well believe it or not
It was once called once called the Amazon Rain Forest
And there were billions of trees there
And all of them gorgeous and just um..
Oh, you don't know much about trees, do you?
Well let me tell you that trees are amazing
And I mean, we literally breath the air
They are creating, and they clean up our pollution
Our carbon, they store and purify water,
Give us medicine that cures ours diseases, food that feeds us
Which is why I am so sorry, to tell you that
We burned them down
Cut them down with brutal machines, horrific
At a rate of 40 football fields every minute
That's 50% of all the trees in the world all gone
In the last 100 years
Why? For this.
And that wouldn't make me so sad
If there weren't so many pictures of leaves on it
You know when I was a child
I read how the Native Americans had such consideration
For the planet that they felt responsible
For how they left the land for the next 7 generations
Which brings me great sorrow, because most of us today
Don't even care about tomorrow
So I'm sorry, I'm sorry that we put profit above people
Greed over need, the rule of gold above the golden rule
I'm sorry we used nature as a credit card with no spending limit
Over drafting animals to extinction
Stealing your chance to ever see their uniqueness
Or become friends with them
Sorry we poison the oceans so much that you can't even swim in them
But most of all, i'm sorry about our mindset
cause we had the nerve to call this destruction
Progress
Hey Fox News, if you don't think climate change is a threat
I dare you to interview the thousands of homeless people in Bangladesh
See, while you was in your penthouse nestled
Their homes were literally washed away
Beneath their feet due to the rising sea levels
And Sara Palin, you said that you love the smell of fossil fuels
Well I urge you to talk to the kids of Beijing
Who are forced to wear pollution masks just to go to school
See, you can ignore this, but the thing about truth is
It can be denied, not avoided
So I'm sorry future generation
I'm sorry that our footprints became a sinkhole and not a garden
I'm sorry that we paid so much attention to ISIS
And very little how fast the ice is melting in the arctic
I'm sorry we doomed you
And I'm sorry we didn't find another planet in time to move to
I am s...
You know what, cut the beat, I'm not sorry
This future I do not accept it
Because an error does not become a mistake
Until you refuse to correct it
We can redirect this, how?
Let me suggest that if a farmer sees a tree that is unhealthy
They don't look at the branches to diagnosis it
They look at the root, so like that farmer
We must look at the root
And not to the branches of the government
Not to the politicians run by corporations
We are the root, we are the foundation, this generation
It is up to us to take care of this planet
It is our only home, we must globally warm our hearts
And change the climate of our souls
And realize that we are not apart from nature
We are a part of nature
And to betray nature is to betray us
To save nature, is to save us
Because whatever you're fighting for:
Racism, Poverty, Feminism, Gay Rights
Or any type of Equality
It won't matter in the least
Because if we don't all work together to save the environment
We will be equally extinct
Sorry
Drage buduće generacije,
Mislim da govorim za ostale nas kad kažem
Izvini, oprosti što smo te ostavili sa našim neredom planete
Oprosti što smo bili previše uhvaćeni u vlastitim djelu da nešto učinimo
Oprosti što smo slušali ljude koji su izgovorili
Da ne radim ništa
Nadam se da ćete nam oprostiti
Jednostavno nismo shvatili koliko je bila posebna zemlja
Kao da brak ide po zlu
Nismo znali šta imamo dok ne nestane
Na primjer
Pretpostavljam da verovatno znate šta je pustinja na Amazoni, zar ne?
Dobro vjerujte ili ne
Nekad se zvala jednom nazvana amazonska kišna šuma
A tamo je bilo milijarde drveća
I svi su prekrasni i samo hm ..
Oh, ne znate puno o drveću, zar ne?
Dozvolite da vam kažem da su drveće neverovatne
I mislim, bukvalno dišemo zrak
Oni stvaraju, a čine našu zagađenje
Naš ugljik, oni čuvaju i pročišćavaju vodu,
Dajte nam lijek koji liječi naše bolesti, hranu koja nas hrani
Zbog čega sam tako žao, da vam to kažem
Izgarali smo ih
Smanjite ih brutalnim mašinama, užasnim
Po stopi od 40 fudbalskih polja svakog trenutka
To je 50% svih stabala na svijetu
U posljednjih 100 godina
Zašto? Za ovo.
I to me ne bi učinilo tako tužno
Da nije bilo toliko slika lišća na njemu
Znate kada sam bio dijete
Pročitao sam kako su domaći Amerikanci imali takve razmatranje
Za planetu da su se osjećali odgovornim
Za kako su napustili zemlju za naredne 7 generacije
Što me dovodi sjajnu tugu, jer većina nas danas
Ne brini za sutra
Tako mi je žao, žao mi je što smo postavili profit iznad ljudi
Pohlepa zbog potrebe, vladavina zlata iznad zlatnog pravila
Žao mi je što smo koristili prirodu kao kreditnu karticu bez ograničenja potrošnje
Preko izrade životinja do izumiranja
Kradu šansu da ikada vidite njihovu jedinstvenost
Ili postaju prijatelji sa njima
Oprosti što otrovimo okeane toliko da ne možete ni plivati u njima
Ali najviše od svega, žao mi je zbog našeg razmišljanja
jer smo imali živca da nazovemo ovo uništenje
Napredak
Hej Fox News, ako ne mislite da klimatske promjene predstavlja prijetnju
Usuđujem se da intervjuišete hiljade beskućnika u Bangladešu
Vidite, dok ste bili u svom penthouse gnijezdi
Njihovi su domovi bili doslovno oprani
Ispod njihovih stopa zbog razine razine mora
I Sara Palin, rekli ste da volite miris fosilnih goriva
Pa, pozivam vas da razgovarate sa djecom Pekinga
Koji su prisiljeni da nose maske zagađenja samo da ide u školu
Vidite, možete to zanemariti, ali stvar o istini je
Može se odbiti, ne izbjegavati
Tako mi je žao buduća generacija
Žao mi je što su naši otisci postali sklopci, a ne vrt
Žao mi je što smo posvetili toliko pažnje na ISIS
I vrlo malo koliko se led brže topi na Arktiku
Žao mi je što smo te osudili
I žao mi je što nismo našli drugu planetu na vrijeme da se preselimo
Ja sam ...
Znate šta, prerežite ritam, nije mi žao
Ova budućnost ne prihvaćam
Jer greška ne postane greška
Dok ne odbijete da to ispravite
Možemo li to preusmjeriti, kako?
Dopustite mi da predložim da ako farmer vidi drvo koje je nezdravo
Ne gledaju na grane za dijagnostiku
Gledaju u korijen, tako kao taj farmer
Moramo pogledati korijen
A ne na grane vlade
A ne političarima koji voze korporacija
Mi smo korijen, mi smo temelj, ova generacija
Na nama je da se brinemo o ovoj planeti
To je naš jedini dom, moramo globalno ugrijati naša srca
I promijenite klimu naše duše
I shvati da nismo osim prirode
Mi smo dio prirode
I da bi se izdanju priroda izdala
Da biste sačuvali prirodu, jeste da nas spasite
Jer šta god se boriš za:
Rasizam, siromaštvo, feminizam, gay prava
Ili bilo koje vrste jednakosti
U najmanju ruku to neće biti važno
Jer ako svi ne radimo zajedno da bismo spasili okoliš
Bićemo podjednako izumrli
Izvini
