Dig

The virus be it chicken or pig
Do we not our own graves dig
Mess about with natures course
All we do is make things worse

Germs and strains mutate
Just what will be our fate
What are the scientists saying
When will man stop playing

Was not so long ago
The air was pure as snow
It is time to act not grieve
And clean the air we breath

A great environmental message emerges from this well-composed poem, Daniel. Like you, I fear for the future of our planet. Environmental neglect carries a huge pricetag. Our futures are at stake! Great work, my friend. Love, Carolyn

This is very good insite; too true. I would watch the punctuation if you wish to enter it in a contest and check that the syllables are even in each line.
