Day of Reckoning

Carbon started the show
for life on earth to grow
and form fossils below.
Modern man in the know
made fossil liquor flow.
Then mass combustion grow.

Carbon to see-o-two.
Waste gas discharge to blue.
Each day more of it spew.
The air choked with foul brew.
Man argues what to do
now judgement day is due.

It's really pitiful what we've done to our planet. "see-o-two..." Nice.

Hi Jenna. Thanks for comment. We know we've wrecked our planet. Still we abuse it for profit. Best wishes. Tony
