Protect Our Parks

Such a beautiful day to go for a hike in a national park
The contrast of stunning scenery against garbage strewn everywhere is stark
These parks are for all of us to enjoy, but we need to show our respect
If we see anybody littering the ground we need to report it to the ranger to have him catch the suspect
It is time to hold these individuals responsible, who use nature's gift to us as their dumping ground
Maybe a large fine to anyone doing this, if they are found
Perhaps the sanitation department could use their front lawn as a dumping spot
Maybe that would serve as a good lesson that needs to be taught
Respect for anything in this world is certainly eroding away
Maybe we could all do our part to reverse the trend, what do you say
In my heart, I know a lot of us do care
Nature is there for all of us, let's look after it, there is no time to spare
