You don't understand
Because you won't pay attention
But if you sit still
If you watch
If you listen
Not to your devices
Not to your peers and likes
But to the world
You will understand
You can learn to be part of the world again
But your world
She is dying
Like you, she has run thin on patience
You don't feel it
Because you've disconnected yourself
From the very thing that gives you life
From the very place that supports you
No matter how many paper towels you use
No matter how many straws you sip from
No matter how long your showers are
No matter how much food you waste
She supports you
And loves you all the same
It's a toxic relationship
And she's finally giving up
She's turning away
But there is still time
You can still save her
If you'd just listen
If you'd just see
If you'd just sit down
Among the trees and the grass
With the animals and plants
And all you have to do is understand
Because once you understand
You can learn
And once you learn
You can heal
And once you heal
Then you can live
