Poem Title:
Poem
Picture this world a few thousand years ago A natural landscape nothing else on show But look around you now what do you find Planes, boats, cars, and things of every kind. Computers, machines and rockets into space All put together by the clever human race Skyscrapers' so tall that reach for the sky Built from materials that you can easily buy. But have you ever wondered how this is so? Maybe you just accept it or don't really know But all we once had were green hills and trees High mountains, giant lakes, rocks and seas. There are still many things waiting to be found In the rainforest fauna or rocks in the ground Cures for every illness and longer you'll live Earth is very generous and gifts she will give We all want some answers; well have no fear The answers that you seek are already here Sooner or later some very clever scientist Will find the answer and tick it off their list. Electricity and fire, great powers of nature That power man harnessed to make life easier But man has got greedy and doesn't really care Making big profits; for a price he will share. We have so much now; everything at our feet Yet many in the world have nothing to eat Some countries on earth have wealth so vast While many on this planet still live in the past. Written 27th November 2018
