Our Solemn Duty - Constanza

Our Solemn Duty Climate change is our human plight. Unless we value Eco’s worth, Future famine will plague our earth. It's up to each of us to fight. Use of plastics polluting seas, Drastic harm of rising degrees. Each soul on earth must seek the right... We have environmental tools To help from burning fossil fuels. To make new laws and keep our sight, Clear cutting trees has latent cost Eroding topsoil that is lost. It's up to us to gain insight. Our lives depend on waters clean... In fighting drought to keep plants green. Our solemn duty to enlight... While innocent birds miss in soil As they dive into spilled crude oil. We must not add to common blight, With pesticides and GMO's, Great harm they cause as illness grows. We must keep offspring’s futures bright. Global warming, our dire bane... To keep polluting is insane! Climate change is our human plight. It's up to each of us to fight. Each soul on earth must seek the right... To make new laws and keep our sight, It's up to us to gain insight. Our solemn duty to enlight... We must not add to common blight, We must keep offspring's futures bright. 11/21/19 All About the Environment ~Second Place~ Judged 11-25-2019 This poem was created in the Constanza form I invented in 2007.
