..........The Future........

 

What does the future hold for us?

Smog filled skies and poison cars,

And broken land with useless dust


And nature’s beauty behind bars.

Can I ever show my children,


(If they ever come my way)


The beauty of a sunset


At the ending of the day?


Can I walk into a forest,

And surround myself with trees,


Yet know that it will remain,


For me to visit as I please.


I know that I can today


Do all the things I’ve said,

But when today is yesterday,

Will all these things be dead?


This problem is enormous

As we gradually take heed,

So we must fix it quickly,

Using words and thoughts and deeds."

  
                                       .......CHANGING PLANET......

"The world is finite, resources are scarce,




Things are bad and will be worse,


Coal is burned and gas exploded,

Forests out and soil eroded,


Wells are dry and air polluted,


Dust is blowing, trees are uprooted,


Oil is going, ores depleted,


Drains receive what is excreted,

Land is sinking, seas are rising,


Man is far too enterprising,


Fires will rage with man to fan it,

Soon we will have a plundered planet."
