Poem

I can smell cherry blossom 
but the tree's are bare
I can hear birds singing 
but there's only an aeroplane in the air
I can see fish swimming
but the river is lifeless and grey
Now there is a sewage plant
Where the signets used to play.

I can hear mowing 
but its artificial grass
I thought I saw a tiger
but its an exhibit behind glass.
Where once I saw a badger
Caring for her brood
All I see now are discarded plastic plates
of processed food .

Tell me why
Please tell me why .

The world is polluted 
but there is profit to be made 
Chopping down rainforests 
Denying animals food and shade.
We know we need the oxygen 
Those tree's provide
but in the interests of making money
That can be denied .

We see the devastation 
Caused by tidal wave 
but we are planning our next million
As the dead are lowered in their graves.
We protest loudly 
When animals are killed for their ivory
But those making the money 
are not in jail I see.

Tell me why
Please tell me why .

When the greedy have made their money
We'll have them to thank 
That the fossil of mother nature
Is held inside a bank .
Will the only nature of the future
Be seen in a faded photograph
Or will those replica plastic animals made in China
Incur our children's wrath.

It is our kids who will inherit
The world we leave behind 
let us leave them a future 
Fit for all of mankind 
Pass a thing of beauty 
Into our children's care 
We can do that if we care for each other
and the world we share.
