Poem
She Won’t be Right, Mate By Kevin L Fairbrother The world is a mess and getting worse With so much conflict, wars and carnage Environmental damage that can’t be un-done We push Mother Nature to her limits … The climate is changing, the cause Global Warming Expect endless waves of catastrophic weather systems Massive destruction of communities around the planet Caused by the use of fossil fuels releasing so much carbon … We rape and pillage the environment for little gain By mining the land, clearing forests, polluting our oceans Far too many humans and less productive land The downward spiral with the earth stressed to its limits … Some people’s ideology gives rise to disruption and death Mass murder and mayhem in many countries Other people through-out the planet have no rights The down-trodden, the poor, religious minorities, third world countries … The world has changed since the days of hunter gatherers Billions of people are reliant on their local super markets Millions have no land to grow crops and keep livestock So much precious fresh water used to feed the masses Food grown with pesticides and chemicals and no over-site Shipped around the world under free trade agreements Possibly spreading disease and viruses to other nations With the sanction of governments, multi-nationals and the dollar … Oceans acidic with fish stocks heavily depleted The environment stressed and broken is at its limits Ice melt at both poles, climate change accelerating The world and its people need to make a stand … Our mother of this earth can only take so much With our grandkids carrying the can for our indulgence Let us try to make this world a better place for the people, the flora and fauna She (the mother of this earth) would hope that we make it right, Mate
