Environment Blues

ENVIRONMENT BLUES

Extra, extra have you heard the news?
all the world has got environment blues
They’re moving through the forest and ripping up the trees
Swimming in the ocean means dodging the debris
Stop treating our world like a garbage bin
Let’s make it a place worth living in
Environment blues are sweeping the land
It’s up to me and you to lend a hand
Where are the children going to play?
To make a new tomorrow we have to start today
The people of Chernobyl are nuclear shy
The faces of the children make me want to cry
I saw on the news an oil spill today
They said it was an accident but will it go away?
Recycling your rubbish would be a place to start
Don’t have to be a greenie to play your part
Just think about the animals, think about the trees
We’d have a better future in a world with harmony
So, let’s all get together it’s up to me and you
We don’t have to live with these environment blues.

A concerned fellow will always think about life's continuity just like the poet. All hands must be on deck for peace, health and life.

Images of the depletion, bare field and arid landscape burden the heart, such pure way of expression tell the people how impactful they are...nicely done.

Only 1.2% of the water on this planet is potable, and much of that pours down street drains. If the sugar bowl on your table contained only 1.2% of its capacity, how long would it take before someone took action? Enjoyed! Aloha!
