Peter Dome Poet Free verse

I Am a Cheeky Monkey

I am a cheeky monkey
Funny face 
And long arms
To swing from tree to tree
Looking for tasty leaves
And maybe
A banana for my tea.

I live here in the jungle
With all my friends and family 
But our home is getting
Smaller and smaller around us
As the giants with there machines
Cut down and burn the trees.

Granpa says soon we will have to leave our home
But there is nowhere else to go
What will happen to us
We are scared and  do not know.

So much for humanity
Greed and a lack of caring
For God's creatures and our beautiful planet
Made to provide everything we need
For sharing.

It breaks my heart
And I'm sure God's too
Filling his heart with pain
He won't put up with this much longer.
And very soon the land destroyed
will flourish again..

For all eternity.
