Save the Earth

Save the Earth Fossil fuels burning, ice caps melting we are the reason polar bears aren’t surviving Nuclear radiation killing, nuclear waste on the river floating, we are the reason turtles are mutating Cities porous with lambent lights of bright neon green we are the reason a star is not to be seen Automobiles releasing gasses, factories dispensing noxious fumes in a burst we are the reason global warming is at its worst Abusing our power to hew forests, pushing aside whatever stands in our way we are the reason animals feel so gray Mountain ranges of litter, and some in the gutter We are the reason the world is stuffier. Tossing waste in the water, waves picking up litter we are the reason the creatures in the deep feel so bitter It’s time to stop pollution, to stop abusing the earth yet still live contently Lets protect the environment be together with animals in solidarity.
