Pollution and nuclear poisoning has become Worldwide <br />And will there be a Worldwide famine when the Earth we have destroyed? <br />When the last root crop has failed and the last animal has died money we cannot eat <br />There will be a Worldwide famine without milk and bread and meat. <br /> <br />The World as we now know it cannot carry on this way <br />More bombings in the Middle East we hear of every day <br />Droughts and famines in Africa how long can this go on <br />'Tis not too late of changing our ways before all hope has gone <br /> <br />For the survival of the future generations who must suffer for our greed <br />It is not by good example that we have chosen to lead <br />The people we call our leaders have been leading us astray <br />And for our abuse of Nature the price will be great to pay. <br /> <br />Wars and terrorism and famines we hear of every day <br />And in the world of big business and entertainment there is corruption and decay <br />But only when the last root crop has failed and the last animal has died we will come to realize <br />That we cannot eat money though too late then to be wise<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/we-cannot-eat-money/
