Bush Ballad Meter - Mother Nature

MOTHER NATURE ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mother nature, dying! I wish I was lying! Pollution is killing, believe! Both flora and fauna! Sad, both will be gonna! Unless we help nature succeed. Recycle, yes, helpful. Nature would be grateful, if we started today; yes, please! Governments must help too, let us make sure they do! We must make sure they don't deceive! Some governments, greedy! You have to believe me, of nature, they haven't a care. Fossil fuels abused, deforestation used, whilst leaving the countryside bare! And all life will suffer, the air, all life's buffer. Oxygen for all fauna, yes us! CO2 for flora! No flora, all gonna No fauna, we've all turned to dust There could be a chance, one! So let's start, get it done! Recycle, recycle, do it! Go all-electric cars, or end, no life, like Mars! So come on, yes you, you muppet! Don't stand around thinking, the planet is stinking! You, in fact, all, we must unify! Clean water for all life! No wars, or hurt, or strife! Stop pollution, let us all try! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sad that its always someone else's problem. Some make a mess and others clean up after them. I fear for future generations. Regards Tom

Kim, Used in a defamatory way, like calling someone an idiot, or worse! I'm called one all the time by friends' and others' for what they think as my pointless focus on stopping pollution. It falls on deaf ears, they might not read/research but pollution is everywhere we look. Nature documentaries, the news, local and world; what do they do, switch over, and when asked why "BORING". Their future is our future, whatever that might be. My apologies Kim, I feel so strongly about the topic that I started to rant, truly sorry... Mick
