I was born amidst an eternal 2050 winter
I live on a mountain top of garbage and rust
While the rising sea drowned our megacities
The privileged told the poor ones to adjust
I don't blame them though, but my forefathers
For their endless greed and insatiable lust
How mercilessly they raped this little blue ball
Till its oceans boiled and air became dust
No fish in water now and no birds in skies
No flowers either because no more butterflies
It's sub zero in May and rains acid in August
Oxygen cylinder is rationed or lungs would burst
But what were these moron thinking in 2020
Plundering the planet's core and crust
And when some children stood up in defiance
Shamelessly they mocked them and sounded just
I wish I could travel back in time to warn them
Get their party spirits spoilt and bubbles bust
Because all I have inherited is a soulless world
A failed legacy of arrogance, regrets, mistrust
Can't see anyone else around here anymore
And soon I too shall turn into dust
But till then, as the last of humanity
Run, hide, heal, steal, Survive I must
