This Is Not Fiction

The oceans are a polluted mire

The land is choking on plugs and wire

And rainforest are ablaze with fire

The future could not be more dire.


The sky is full of toxic chemical trails

And the earth on which we live is frail

A mix of pollutants and Pesticides Leave the air stale

This is a very sad and sorry tale.


Meanwhile many species are near extinction

Our humanity is not shining with distinction

I could make a prognostication or prediction

But what's true is this tale is real and not fiction.

Yes, we are choking on plugs and wires, pollutants and pesticides. Do we fully understand what this means for our grand babies and great grand babies? The protests of the 60's should be nothing compared to the protests of today! Well done.
