My Lasting Minutes

The sins of our ancestors, we bear the cost
Their lust for power, and all that they've lost
They thought they could rule, but they only destroyed
The world we live in, they left so devoid

The sea and rivers, contaminated with poison
The animal kingdom, gone, left with no voice and
The blue sky faded, with pollution and decay
Leaving the elderly, women, and children in dismay

Love, a precious virtue, has lost its worth
In a world where chaos and hatred give birth
Oh Lord, give us a chance to try again
To mend our ways, to wash away the stain

Every time things went wrong, we sat under a shroud
But when they got better, we forgot, feeling proud
Forgive us, Lord, for our past and present sins
Let's work together, let our new journey begin

To heal the wounds of our mother earth
To restore her beauty, her intrinsic worth
Let's work together, hand in hand
To create a world, we can all understand.
