Of Rivers and Streams
Are the rivers and streams clear
Do they have great water to drink
Are the mountains and peaks clear
Can you get crisp air there to breathe
The rivers and streams have little
To do with clean drinking water
The problems are with what’s dumped
Into the rivers and streams upstream
The mountains and peaks can’t receive
All the clean air that once was there
Because of everything that’s put into the sky
It goes up and fills the mountains and peaks
I hope that one day we can find a way
To keep the pollution out of the water
And also the containments from the sky
This will save our planet
Not to mention keeping it all beautiful
