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
亲爱的后代，
我想我说我的其他人
抱歉，我们留下了一个星球的混乱
抱歉，我们太陷入了自己的行动来做某事
抱歉，我们听了借口的人
什么都不做
我希望你原谅我们
我们只是没有意识到地球有多特别
就像婚姻是错误的
我们不知道我们拥有什么，直到它消失了
例如
我猜你可能知道亚马逊沙漠是什么，对吗？
好你信不信
曾经被称为亚马逊雨林
那里有数十亿棵树
他们所有人都很漂亮，只是嗯。
哦，您对树木不太了解，对吗？
好吧，让我告诉你，树木很棒
我的意思是，我们从字面上呼吸空气
他们正在创造，并清理我们的污染
我们的碳，他们存储并净化水，
给我们治愈我们的疾病的药物，养活我们的食物
这就是为什么我很抱歉，告诉你
我们把它们烧毁了
用残酷的机器砍掉它们，可怕
每分钟以40个足球场的速度
那是世界上所有树木的50％
在过去的100年中
为什么？为了这。
那不会让我这么难过
如果没有那么多叶子的图片
你知道我小时候
我读了美洲原住民的考虑
对于他们感到责任的星球
对于他们如何在接下来的7代离开土地
这给我带来了极大的悲伤，因为今天我们大多数人
甚至不在乎明天
所以很抱歉，对不起，我们将利润放在人们之上
贪婪过度需求，黄金规则高于黄金法则
对不起，我们将大自然用作没有支出限制的信用卡
超越起草动物灭绝
窃取您永远看到他们独特性的机会
或与他们成为朋友
对不起，我们毒害了海洋
但最重要的是，我为我们的心态感到抱歉
因为我们有勇气称这毁灭性
进步
嘿，福克斯新闻，如果您不认为气候变化是威胁
我敢您采访孟加拉国成千上万的无家可归者
看，当你坐在阁楼里时
他们的房屋实际上被冲走了
由于海平面上升，他们的脚下
和萨拉·佩林（Sara Palin），你说你喜欢化石燃料的气味
好吧，我敦促您与北京的孩子们交谈
谁被迫戴污染口罩只是去上学
看，你可以忽略这个，但是关于真理的事情是
可以否认，不避免
所以我很抱歉未来
对不起，我们的足迹变成了污水坑，而不是花园
对不起，我们对ISIS非常关注
而且冰上在北极融化的速度几乎没有
对不起，我们注定了你
很抱歉，我们没有及时找到另一个星球
我是...
你知道什么，削减节拍，我不后悔
这个未来我不接受
因为错误不会成为错误
直到您拒绝纠正它
我们可以重定向，如何？
让我建议，如果农民看到一棵树不健康
他们不看诊断分支机构
他们看着根，就像那个农民一样
我们必须看根
而不是去政府的分支机构
不向公司经营的政客
我们是根源，我们是基础，这一代
我们要照顾这个星球
这是我们唯一的家，我们必须在全球温暖我们的心中
改变我们灵魂的气候
并意识到我们与自然没有区别
我们是自然的一部分
背叛自然就是背叛我们
拯救自然，就是拯救我们
因为无论您为之奋斗：
种族主义，贫穷，女权主义，同性恋权利
或任何类型的平等
至少没关系
因为如果我们不全部共同努力来拯救环境
我们将同样灭绝
对不起
