To Save the World

To watch the dark, and twinkling skies, Brings joy and love, to my curious eyes. To think of where we are today, It sends my interested mind away. To a place where thoughts and dreams come true, To a place where all the planets are blue, And green and round and full of beings, An alien planet, that’s full of meanings. You ask yourself questions, when so engrossed, On what it is like, on the sea coast, Of an alien planet, so far away, To make you want, to run away To catch a flight, to the nearest rocket, Sail up to the stars, to go into orbit. To glide by all of the shining diamonds, To ponder and watch, at endless horizons How much I would love, to visit the stars, The velvet of night, the orange of Mars. The blue of Neptune, the rays of sun, The awe of earth, held by a gun. The gun being held, by mankind themselves, With pollution, mass production, and everything else. A world gone to waste, our spot in the space, A fact that no one, can seem to face. I look up at the stars, whenever I see, Through the polluted clouds, and satellite debris, I see some worlds, untouched by mankind, And think to myself, I hope we don’t find, I hope we don’t find, a world to destroy, We’ve already destroyed one, a child with a toy. We can save the planet, we aren’t done yet, We need to work, forget about debt. We need to get rid, of toxic material, It’s like man kind, is something bacterial, A virus to the world, so beautiful and pure, We don’t deserve it, and that is for sure. To work together, is the only way, To save the earth, from a gloomy fate, Reduce the plastic, cycle to work, Stop the cars roaming, we need to rework, To come together, man woman and child, To save the earth, before we’re exiled, And end up doing what I first said, And move to worlds, to break their bread

Hi Bradley, Nicely brings attention to the destruction to our planet and I liked your poignant line "child with a toy".

Thankyou for your comment, I believe that it’s a topic that seems to be pushed aside by so many but needs to be heard. Have a great day
