Mother Nature's Son

The world is a factory farm And no one can save nature's charm The harm from this binge Makes ecologists cringe And stinks like a raw underarm Author's note: Let the games begin and hold your nose. The scale of exploitation is unparalleled in human history. But don't worry because more industry and technology will save us.

You're right. We need to be entirely renewable. I love nature very much and I loved your thinking so much. Have a nice evening.

Thanks Harshita. The games continue. Acting locally on all of this to try to make the world a better place. We have the thermostats low and use an electric car, but this only slows the contamination. We need to be entirely renewable.

You paint the stark truth in a very scary picture of reality. Great message :)

The problem is that underdeveloped countries take western world as an example to follow. Can we blame them? We can do not much about this problem individually, but many individuals are a community as we soupers and can take yor poem as a message

well, I don't know whether you are being sarcastic or not with your footnote, but we can only hope that scientists find a way to fix this huge mess we have made of the earth.. your poem is so true, so true.
