No Environment, No Life

Think globally, act locally, The desert shall rejoice And blossom as rose, Man has been endowed with reason With the power to create So that he can add to what he's been given. But up to now he has only been a destroyer, Rather than being a creator Forests keep disappearing Population keep increasing. Rivers dry up Landslides occurring from the top Glaciers are melting Water is vanishing, But shame on humans They aren't improving. Wildlife's become extinct The climate's ruined Everyday the land is growing poorer And the crops are growing uglier, Make it a green peace Thats the point But what to do, We are just lost in a woo. The poor tread lightest upon the earth The higher our income The geater the outcome, The more resources we control The more havoc we wroke. What would the world be Once bereft Of wet and wildness, Let them be left, O'let them be left. Long live the weeds and the wilderness, Kindly be possessive towards the environment After all the destructions, When we will be left sans of (sans- Pronounced sone meaning without) Every natural beauty All that remains for us Will be of no utility They paved paradise And put up a parking lot With a pink hotel. A boutique, and a swinging hot spot, What have we done to the earth? What have we done to our fair sister? Ravaged and plundered and ripped her and did her. Stuck her with knives in the side of the dawn And tied her with fences and dragged her down I think that i shall never see, A billboard lovely as a tree Perhaps, unless the billboards fall, I'll never see a tree at all Its a sincere request in the end from my side, Save the Environment, save our Mother Earth!

This is everything to me right now! We are nature, nature is us. As we destroy it, we destroy our purest of selfs. Thank you for sharing, I adore your words!
