I have read diaries and journals of people back in the 2000’s.
They talked about penguins and polar bears,
Which we could see in Ocean Park.
But then their homes which were the poles
started melting,
Sea levels were rising.
Sadly they left this world in 2085.
Saw some old pictures of Clear Water Bay,
And then i sighed in dismay.
It has always been a childhood dream
To feel the beach breeze and build sand castles
But again it's no longer here
It was covered by the sea in the year 2063
I found it funny how people in Hong Kong
Used to wear sweaters,jackets and coats in december
Now in 3001 we don’t need them anymore
Not it autumn or winter
We just live in this hot weather
All these problems are caused by me,
By you, by us, Humans.
Using too much plastic, too much light,
The factories emitting too much carbon dioxide,
Too many people fighting for their desires.
I wish, I wish I could live, happily and freely
Feeling the breeze and the green trees.
If only it's not too late
If only I could make a change.

In common speech, in common blood; ahead,
Our glory lies. No gods, no kings, just us.
Our monetary might, our Party’s eyes,
