Jenga
When did they last spot a tiger in the wild?
What has driven the seagulls inland?
Why are the ice caps melting?
Where has the ozone layer gone?
How many plant species has our planet lost?
Who is going to bring us crashing down?
The answer,my friends , is written in ourselves,
As piece by piece do we ,blindfolded by our greed
And deluded by our conceited beliefs,
Strip this dear green place of its rich variety
Until one day we will lay bare its skeleton,
Which will then crack to crash around us.
If man is taken as the measure of all,
Such pride will cause our final fall.
