Environmental Change

So quickly, everything changed 
Nothing feels the same
Our creation has been transformed 
As nature is now different
Rivers are tainted with toxic rainbows
Skies are empty of flying birds
Toxic chemicals traveled miles across borders
An estimated 43,700 animals are dead
All in 5 miles from the chemical burn site
Why, oh why, didn't they cool the train 
And transfer these harmful chemicals?
Why did they rush to burn the chemicals?
Turned into a chemical weapon to ruin lives?
Land is tainted, people are sick, lthe environment is changed!
This will last for years to come , years to see!
So much will keep on changing through seasons
It is in the soil and tests prove the acid rain
God's precious creation has now been attacked
What we will witness that will continue to change?
Cruelty rules, pain spreads for miles, stealing smiles!

Yes--there are tragic consequences on people and the environment. So sad to see the lingering effects for some time to come. Stay safe my friend. Wishing nature's resilience will shine once again and soon.

Yes Vijay. Now there is a white dust falling in west Virginia. The fire department told people to close windows and doors. Many residents took video of it. I saw some white dust on clothes of some at press conference in OH. But, someone said a plane went over west Virginia. Please be safe. Thank you for your kind visit. :)
