SONNET FOR PRECIOUS PLANET

Can we not show some love for Planet Earth For it is suffering from our brutal way? From it we plunder everything of worth As our numbers grow more and more each day. We turn resources to polluting waste That poisons the air, oceans and the land As we blunder forth with increasing haste. The truth we do not want to understand For this would show that we must curb our greed That would put at risk our self-cherishing. But we just let our precious planet bleed As we’re addicts of reckless consuming. Can we not show some love for Planet Earth And stop plundering it for all its worth?

Many thanks Dorian. I worry for the future of planet earth. We surely are hurting it. Mother Nature on this planet gave us life. But now we ignore this and plunder for profit. Best wishes. Tony.
