We Cried

What would you do if squirrels cried for missing trees and butterflies wept for polluted breeze? ...a whale shedding a tear for an ocean of plastic and seagulls wailing for toxic trash so drastic? What would you do if a harmonica played all alone a metallic howl telling us the Earth is in danger and that we must act now? Would you sob to the mourning moon? Give it a try, it is not too soon.

It is sad. I never pick dandelions as they are food for bees, almost extinct at 1 point. Every species depends on another. On the beach, I always pick up other's trash. "They paved paradise and put up a parking lot" I'm very glad I found your poem. It's such a very important one!
