Openmic week 54 original song "Funeral Train For Lady Planet Earth"

I was reading an article about a lost train car of plutonium. It occurred to me that that would not be a good thing, and I got the image in my mind of a funeral train. As I began to write I thought of other things that threaten our existence on earth, like air polution, terminator seeds, and bad air.

Funeral Train For lady planet Earth
Parading across the country,
the funeral train for lady planet earth.
Her load one lost deadly boxcar,
if we don't find it,
we could lose the whole world.
(chorus)
It's just a fairytale, and Grimmer never heard.
whoever gave the right to endanger life to whom?
The people don't,
and the people say so.
Cuz the people don't want to die,
no the people don't want to die,
And the people demand,
truth in hand, truth is, aint no lie,
There ought to be a law against it,
ought to be a law against it.
Ships are sailing out on the ocean,
loaded with the terminator seed,
Stop the terminator fornicator, or our planet may no longer be green.
(chorus)
Politicians promising to tell the truth, the measure of it still remains the same
Does what they say put money in their pockets, it if does, it must be God's own truth.
(chorus)
Lights are burning bright across the nation; TV's blasting forth the word of truth
While smoke stacks release their deadly vapors, breath deeply, did you hear it on the news?
(chorus)
Rules and regulations being deconstructed, Protections of air land and sea all gone
Irony propels our transportation
In blissful ignorance we ride along
(Chorus)

I know this is a song about laws etc, but these are all things that concern me, so here it is! The passing mail truck is just a happy addition of "irony propelled transportation". This song may also be found on my album on Cd Baby called, "Workers For The Light " https://members.cdbaby.com/AlbumDetails/BasicAlbumInfo.aspx revdoc
