Land Abuse and Mis-Use

Land Abuse and Mis-Use

How long will we all have waited
Until our lives have been annihilated
By robust dust, dirty water and pollution
For, there has to be a healthy solution.

Why time after time must we be exposed
What should have happened was a bill proposed
Each problem we had made history out of it
Our each effort to do never stop or ever quit.

Life will continue on like God has planned
While we should care for our lovely land
No one can come up with a perfect excuse
For pollution, land abuse and its misuse.

A very strong and powerful piece! I love what you are drawing to light here, the things we don't want to acknowledge.

Allie, It always makes you wonder how things will end up. I can only hope and pray for the best. Jim Horn
