Is the Sky over?

As time passes, I see that this government doesn't care about the present problem affecting every nation on the globe. A world surrounded by pollution is not good for our legacy's life expectancy, and as the earlier generation we must find alternatives to our everyday resources. Now, pollution is not only described as the harmful chemicals found in the sky, but it is also classified as light energy, heat and noise. The little things that we think are unimportant are the ones that are affecting us the most.for example,noise pollution encompasses roadway noises, aircraft noises and industrial noise, as well as high-intensity sonar.

The other day I found a song by Serj Tankian called Sky is over. In this song, it describes how civilization is destroying nature with pollution. There is this specific exerpt from the song that caught my attention,



" Behind closed eyes lie
The minds ready to awaken you,
Are you at war with land and all of its creatures
Your sick persuasion has been known to wreck economies
Of countries, of empires, the sky is over".


This song had me thinking.
What would be a world without a sky?
Would we still be able to go outside and do the very things we are accustomed to do?
As a kid, I would always stare at the sky and wonder what would happen if we had a huge cloud of smog instead of having our blue sky?

At the end of the music video you can see "Civilization is over" in the sky, but is civilization really over? Not the inhabitants?
