Our World

The sun shines down

The ice melts

As temperatures rise

Fossils burn

As we live out

Our daily lives

Polar bears have no home

Fish can no longer swim

Turtles are throttled

We live in a land of beauty

With exotic creatures

And fascinating flora

A land of love and prosperity

Or so it was

The beauty has begun to fade

The exotic creatures have started to diminish

The fascinating flora

Has turned brown and limp

And we are to blame

As all that makes our world cherishable

Drains away

We live with

Fancy cars and stylish houses

Thinking only of our immediate gain

Led by greed

We ignore all the warnings

Because it is considered

Weak-hearted

To save our planet

So now I ask of you

As you read my words

Why do I raise this issue?

Why do I go against society

To restore the land to what it was?

Why don’t you?
