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?

But now we ignore this and plunder for profit. Best wishes. Tony.
