Fight This War First
Listen, we have to hurry up
Fight this war first
You may have others to tackle
But if we lose this battle
There won’t be any left to tussle
This war so imminent and immense
Wages against all of us
And if we are defeated
All of us and other critters in tow
Will be hurled to hell
Rich and poor, young and old
Are all in the same boat
Nowhere you can escape or hide
Even if you own the whole world
Or the most advanced spacecraft
The Moon is so bleak
Mars not enough air
Venus way too hot
Don't expect your fancy starship
Will take you to a livable planet
So, gear up!
Everyone is a soldier in this war
To fight against enemies pumping
Greenhouse gases into the air
Aiming to burn up Earth, eliminate lives
Yes, more or less, directly or indirectly
We can be the enemies ourselves
Emitting carbon dioxide, aiding and abetting
Formations of horrendous wildfires
Disastrous floods and deadly cyclones
So, fight with our best effort against
This global warming war first
