Our Future

Sometimes I shiver, sometimes I shake, Of what we've done for mortal sake, We've filled the air with toxic galore, And even the garbage is dumped off shore, We've even drilled many miles down, Nuclear waste buried in the ground, Even our water can tell the tale, Polluters even elude the jail, The EPA for economy's sake, Allows pollution, --- BIG MISTAKE! Clean up the air, we hear the cry, Ten years later, it's still in the sky. With smiles that glow and they aren't white, Shakin' and shiverin', I'm full of fright, So where are we headed, where are we bound? Well it's for sure, --- NOT UNDERGROUND!
