What We Have Done To Our Planet
What We Have Done to Our Planet
Future generations will not be glad
From things we left them are quiet bad.
The nuclear remains of our atom blasts
For thousand years will last.
When pool balls first invented with plastic
Everyone thought it was fantastic.
It saved elephants ivory
But led to an awful irony.
Plastic garbage we threw into the sea
Will be there for eternity.
We burned and cut the Brazilian rain forest
Thar reduced of our oxygen supply
And you might ask why?
It was our stupid brain of course.
UN says million plants and animals may come extinct
And leave many more on the brink.
Our gasoline is loaded with lead
Fumes not good for the brain in our head,
Was it the CO2 from our car engines
That killed all the Carrier Pidgeons ?
We burned fossil fuels
Made us look like circus fools.
It lead to global warming
That left a dire warning.
Water levels rose as glaciers melt.
Caused flooding that many felt.
Our weather now has changed.
Brought on storms and hurricanes.
We polluted our drinking water
We left to our grandson and granddaughter.
Yes, we lived for the day
But, for my grandchildren I pray.
