Someday the world will run out,
The jobs already be packed,
The words already typed,
The lyrics already sung,
The notes already played,
The dumpsters already full,
The clothes already designed,
The cars already named,
When will it run out?
Who knows,
But I think it's already almost full.
Where can you go where there is no cars?
Where can you go where there is more than twenty trees?
Nature is being taken over,
But by man-kind.
