Sunlight struggles through the haze
trees drunkenly
sway in daze
the air chokes and gasps for breath
red tide beats the drums of death
Full moon glows orange through the smog,
Casts light
on a lone pine log.
A fallen spar with no yield,
Left here on this clear-cut field.
Aqueous creatures gasp for breath
As toxic slime pollutes
their nest
Their ancestral home turns to rot
Yet no one gives it another thought
Water weeps with poison debris;
choking land and murdering
seas.
Flora withers and fauna cries;
link by link the chain of life dies.
Smog covers the land
It's so thick you can't see your
hand
Animals lose thier habitat
Because it's cut flat
Struggling for life yet only choke,
flora and fauna
live in hope,
man’s wicked deeds, their greedy minds,
try to hide behind see-through blinds,
we see your
deeds oh man of wrath,
follow you closely down your devious path,
we won’t let you win so don’t gloat,
the earth will survive ….a new cloak.
There is much distress in this mess
That we have created
by caring less
By doing nothing we're just as guilty
Gotta save our planet for our destiny
But who can win, when money is king,
nature sold so
cash registers sing.
Earth's balance tilted by those who lead.
How can we stare down the face of greed?
Children are haunted, can't find a place to play
"Where
did the trees go, Mommy who made them go away"
Swings aren't swinging and laughter isn't heard,
what happened to the
chirping of the pretty birds?
Take it back, make it rewind, go in reverse,
what would you change to Save MOTHER EARTH?
And if wrecking environments is not enough
Come on fellers,
let's do our stuff!
Strap these explosives round your tum
and blow everybody to kingdom come!
And, of all those
we kill in our suicide burst,
Remember it's women and children first!!
An alligator slowly slides
In black and murky bog he
hides
The creature’s mystery never fades
In waters of the Everglades
An eco-system hanging on
While
other swamps have come and gone
A debt of grievance must be paid
If we destroy the Everglades
By hand of man our earth is ravaged,
Its beauteous glory
has been savaged,
Earth’s life is dying, has been forlorn
Turn around so earth can be reborn
We need to start acting now for soon it will be too late,
let's
band together and change our planet's fate
for the frogs, fish and the deep blue seas, lakes where
they lived all happy til man poluted their waterways
Lets all watch what goes down the sink less chemicals
more natural
things, unbleached paper will help the loo
its never to late for us each day to think deeper ourselves
The eco-sytstem is to share
not to trap and ensnare
Man
still thinks only of himself
Not seeing the Earth for its wealth
Someday greed will destroy us all
It's not to late
to change this call
Please think before the plastics burning
tins and bottles
needs re-cycling
gently nurture god's own place
love and cherish this your space
If you sit quietly you can hear
the cries of the earth
so crystal clear
let's take off the ear muffs one and all
for this is the sound of duty's call
And if we can
just stop and think
what's put our earth on the brink
what beauty we could still see
if only natures course we let
be
"...Let's
put our planet to right
It's never too late
Let's use energy efficiently
And recycle our waste...."
