John Denver - "Whose Garden Was This"

 This song is sad and I'm sure one day it will be true. This world was once a beautiful garden and just to know everything we are doing to it. We are destroying not just our world but ourselves. I wonder what this world is going to look like in just 10 or 20 years. It sure has changed since I was a kid. I remember there was a time when I breathed clean air and could be out in the sun all day without getting burned. Now, you can get burned in less than 10 minutes out in the direct sunlight when the UV index is high and the air is so polluted at times that I have a hard time breathing it. I remember a time when I could stand in my backyard and watch the sun set on the Great Salt Lake and now I can't even see it because of all the homes that have been built. There used to be a time when I wanted to go to other places on this Earth, but now I no longer want to. How many of them have been ruined and destroyed already. I always wanted to go to Africa and go on a safari to see the wild animals. How many of those animals are no longer on this Earth or they are so rare you will never see them. And one day I doubt there will be any land left for animals and it will just be wall to wall people. I just hope I'm dead and gone before this world totally turns into a world I don't want to be in.
