Jack 116

I can’t help thinking it has all gone wrong
In letting humans write the planets song

We need to acknowledge our responsibilities please
Various waste, not just plastic, filling our seas

The signs are there, we must heed the warning
Polluting the air, causing global warming

Ignorance, denial, greed, all sorts of reasons 
All contributing to erode the order of seasons

Birds in the trees, not sure when to nest or sing
Emerging flowers with no idea when it’s spring

Environments disappearing bit by bit each day
Rising sea levels and Polar caps melting away

We clear forests and take land, so humans can play
Where animals once roamed, hunting their prey

Balance and harmony was always nature’s aim
Now she’s confused and man is to blame

I can’t help thinking it has all gone wrong
In letting humans write the planets song
