The Elements
Blue marble of life
Never was in strife
Enter humans greedy, scheming
Leaving the Earth screaming
Invisible saviour and protector
Cries silently in horror
Ravages by Father time
Corrupting it from sublime
The life giving elixir
And ultimate thirst quencher
Wasn’t spared human greed
Hence, contamination was guaranteed
Playing with raging fire
Is the human desire
To burn the house
That’s hard to douse
