As I slowly orbit,
I look upon my Earth.
I listen to the humans,
Hear the problems they unearth.
They call it 'global warming',
I don't know what it means.
I see my world is changing,
Bursting at the seams.
I see the ice caps melting,
Watch the sea level rise.
I watch as a species,
Slowly dies.
I see the climate changing,
Not working as it should.
I know this won't be easy,
I know this isn't good.
I know the cause of this,
I know the solution too.
But the moon has no voice,
There's nothing I can do.
