Canvas of Artwork

A canvas of artwork,
Beautiful art.
Mountains, seas, ground, air.
All on one painting. 
No man can explain it. 
No man can make it,
But a man can ruin it.
The most beautiful picture
Ripped, trashed, ruined.
Would you like to be the one to do this? 
Would you like to be responsible for it?
No, but you are.
Every bad action makes one more rip in the canvas.
But together we can tape it back together,
With our actions.
Plant, save, recycle, you know what to do.
Now do it.
Re- paint our world,
Restore its beauty.
A canvas of artwork.
