Earth 2014
I came into a world naked, fragile
Found its plants green, filled with colored pallete
Watched it change into garbage, so gradual
As man tore Nature down with his mallet
Payment for destruction, water turned oil
Careless obsession of trees in his way
Litter constant, while the ocean floors boil
Filled with a stench as dead fish decay
Come, Take my hand, we'll watch the sewers flow
What once were rivers, now chemical slick
To fill bellies of children as they grow
Growing tumors on bones, befriending sick
Found guilty already, who'll be the judge
From turning green with color into sludge
For the contest The Saddest Landscape
