Shadow Hamilton Poet Free verse

Act before its too late

When will we awake to the damage
surely we can see the errors
the harm we are doing or will
we stick our heads in the sand
like blind folks and wait for doom.
.
People are like sheep following sheep
not stopping to think just acting
not seeming to realise we kill
this beautiful earth that we
are supposed to look after.

All of us need what nature
does for all of us
The sky that gives us
both rain and sunshine
the moon that lightens dark.

But be aware of the damage
that we inflict daily
with our plunder of resources
not stopping to care
that they are not limitless 

That we are polluting the air
slowly suffocating everything
plunging every living thing
into peril for without plants
we cannot keep balance

I cry out to all to change
so that we can leave
An inheritance to our kin
instead of leaving them
a dying earth
