Care For Mother Earth and Her Everything

Spare a thought For buffaloes, bulls and bears groaning, mourning, starving Under your collar don’t blow hot Making rivers and rodents sad, carving Space and time you don’t own Encroaching on privileges animals and plants possess In their comfort and discomfort zone You dare to distress and stress Best to minimize the plight Reptiles and rabbits confront every morning and afternoon With no morsels of grub in sight As savannas and simians croon Shambling in starvation style Bulging bellies boast as labels of stables and fables of gluttony For a convoy of jalopies cruising in single file Pay last respect to Tony Who’d passed on in pitiful poverty Impecunious Although in death no novelty Comes through under the guise of ingenious Crafting of manipulation But you’d do well to sacrifice creature comforts to elevate the fate Endured by long suffering trees and tigers whose daily nourishment ration Ought to funnel a debate On the injustice witnessed globally when a tiny few Gorges on two thirds of world resources With neither care nor clue On the abuse fauna and flora sources Suffer Dwindle Prefer Decrease as the self satisfying spindle Spins and spins With little thought on air and water pollution Pins On environmental dissolution Metamorphosing the Earth into a less habitable planet Treated with disdain Depleting the Earth’s net Worth as polluters gain bargains again and again Super profits Turning a blind eye To sarcasm skits, bludgeon bits and tendentious tweets Lying inside a liberal lie That all’s well Environment concerns mean nothing As imbalances and inhospitable elements swell To spell doom unless you start caring for Mother Earth and her everything.
