In just one day, Rapper and Poet Prince Ea's new video "Dear Future Generations: Sorry," about the destruction of our planet's precious resources, has gone viral on Facebook with over 17 million views and counting.
In the clip, he began his apology to future generations and asked for forgiveness. He explained, "I think I speak for the rest of us when I say, sorry."
During his apology, he stood in the "Amazon Desert," where he said there once was a luscious rainforest with billions of trees. He explained why they were and still are beneficial...
The rapper and poet pointed out what he thought was the reason behind it all.
"When I was a child, I read how the Native Americans had such consideration for the planet. They felt responsible for how they left the land for the next seven generations," he said. He went on to point out that things may have changed.
"Because whatever you're fighting for — racism or poverty, feminism, gay rights, or any type of equality — it won't matter in the least, because if we don't all work together to save the environment, we will be equally extinct. Sorry."
And according to Prince Ea, our mistakes aren't just in the trees.
