Do the Children know?

That you have left them a legacy of a ravaged planet, that you have destroyed the forests, that you have poisoned the rivers, that you have polluted the air, that you have littered the earth with toxic waste, that you have buried nuclear waste underground, that you have sucked the groundwater dry, that you were responsible for extinction of most other species on the planet, that you have communicated diseases across continents, that you have heated the atmosphere, that your addiction for dirty energy eventually melted the icecaps, that you have changed the climate, that you have eaten all the fish, that you have simply consumed all what was to be theirs, that your ravenous appetite for power led to wars, that your gluttonous habits led to poverty for others , that you were selfish, careless and irresponsible, that you saved, hoarded, accumulated wealth in banks, bonds and real estate, that you did all this for them?

And seek help to mend your ways. Now. (Recommended music video - What I have done by Linkin Park).
