Sign of The Times
Seasons come and seasons go upon this planet,
icebergs melting more each day to swell the seas.
Glaciers shrinking in a world we took for granite,
never thinking what our waste would cause to be.
Ocean garbage packs enlarge with our life’s plastic,
formed from modern day just get it out your hand.
Throw away the trash makes global warming drastic.
Heaven help us soon if we don’t take a stand.
Ecologically our footprints can't keep up the pace.
The future outlook is determined by us now.
In the day to day disposals of this human race,
maybe we’ll care with how much the state allows.
Earth, a place so richly blessed with pure resources,
should be treated with respect and better choices.
In 2013, the Global Footprint Network estimated the global ecological footprint as 1.6 planet Earths. This means that, according to their calculations, the planet's ecological services were being used 1.6 times faster than they were being renewed.
