SONNET FOR PRECIOUS PLANET

Can we not show some love for Planet Earth
for it is suffering from our brutal way?
From it we plunder everything of worth
as we are growing more and more each day.
We turn resources to polluting waste
that poisons the air, the seas and the land
as we blunder forth with increasing haste.
The truth we do not want to understand
for this would show that we must curb our greed
that might put at risk our self-cherishing.
But we just let our precious planet bleed
as we’re addicts of endless profiting.
Can we not show some love for Planet Earth
and stop plundering it for all its worth?
