Self Destruction

Tell them oh! sun Why your rays fall harsh Making global warming. Tell them of desertification Melting of the arctic They know not my language. Ask them why the green gas Why industrial smoke ? Speak oh! sun. Let us all learn Complain oh! sun Someone must listen. Speak oh! rain Tell them why you flood And why you loose your pattern. Tell them why you fail to fall Making drought, famine You have your voice. Shout oh! rivers Tell them why you dry Why you change color. Complain about industrial dumping About deforestation Something must change. Wind speak up Stand up and be counted....... Tell them why the hurricanes Cyclones and tempests Why you breeze less no more You have a voice of your own. Tell them oh! soil Why you loose fertility I am sure it is not age. Complain about the farming methods The chemicals Herbicides and pesticides. Rise oh! waters The lakes, seas and oceans Why you anger Giving us fish no more Making angry waves and tides They are responsible. Stand oh! air Say why you are so stuffy Talk about pollution Speak for the trees Arise and stand In the wind talk to them.
