What the Earth Says

I spoke to our atmosphere…
Asked it how things were going?
It’s not pleased with pollution
That man dumps in it daily.

Next, I spoke with our oceans…
They say plastic bottles and 
Old fishing gear and garbage
Will destroy all life in them.

Then I quizzed Earth’s molten core…
It said it wasn’t happy
With what man does to this earth…
Count volcanic eruptions.

They all tell me that it’s time
Mankind comes to his senses
Before they band together…
Pay polluters back in kind.
