Why?
Why does the flower bloom
when it knows it will wilt?
Why does the sun rise
when it knows it will set?
Why does the snow fall
when it knows it will melt?
Why does the mind dream
when it knows its not real?
Why do we speak...
if no one will listen?

It is mostly about how the earth is telling us that we are destroying it, but we do not listen, and we have to...but why the the earth keep speaking when we do not listen?
