Mother Earth Grieves
Earth's beauty was created with its dawning
But flora and fauna will soon be extinct
Mankind refuses to accept the warning
Their abusive pursuits of nature is linked
to forests felled, toxins dumped in streams and yet
Concerns are ignored, the list far past succinct
Mother Nature's wounded; slain without regret
Animal habitats, men selfishly claim
To this ravaged planet, he owes a great debt
But he continues to reave, devoid of shame
Earth grieves in mourning. Human greed is to blame
