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.
