When All of Nature Weeps

Tears too late to regenerate and all because we acted too late Future generations will face decline If we continue to be ignorant to every sign Ozone has odor like chlorine bleach Its now to stop now to teach For exposure produces headaches, burning eyes irritated respiratory passages, asthmatic sighs All of nature in decline Don’t waste water treat it like wine Be careful that you sort your rubbish Recycle everything we publish What you buy is important too As is how much liquid flushes down the loo Then the factories where the ‘stuffs’ produced need reduce the smog that they’ve induced Stop pollution at its source And where possible walk of course Or otherwise lets travel together Protect our plants, trees and our weather

GReat message, Anna. It all feels so hopeless. I heard China is becoming so industrialized now that in five years, they will outdo the rest of the world so totally for pollution. even the US will look like small potatoes. Very scary stuff. I don't know what will become of us all!!

Lead the environmental charge, my friend, and you will find me following in your footsteps. I, too, am very concerned about the degredation of nature by mankind. Great work! Love, Carolyn
