“Dear Future Generations: Sorry” by Prince EA
For example,
I'm guessing you probably know it as the Amazon Desert, right?
Well believe it or not,
it was 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, they clean up our pollution,
our carbon, they store and purify water,
give us medicine that cures our 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 gone
in the last 100 years.
Why? For this.
Sorry.
