I've been replaced by a lap dog~at least it's cute,
Its poppy brooch glows bright on its dainty neck.
It yaps and leaps, and like me, its poops pollute,
But could it endure a long and rugged trek?
I’d wager it’d fail~a weary, broken wreck.
Atomic revolutions
bordering
the world's cottons.
"SHOUT
full on,
make it known,
that polluting
is wrong, it kills life"!
"DON'T
pollute,
it can kill,
chemically,
mechanically"!
~~~~~~~~~~~~
"SHOUT,
feelings,
my true love,
listen, will you
become my whole life"?
-----
"SHOUT!
Make them
hear your words!
ask all to help
save the dying world"!
-----
"SHOUT
it out!
war won't win!
peace comes with love,
goodwill, empathy"!
-----
"SHOUT
your rights,
nature does,
righting our wrongs!
come on, don't give in"!
-----
"SHOUT,
let it
be known, life,
it all has rights.
their own destinies"!

IS IT OKAY
**********
do you know what, what do you know?
the seeds of disaster we sow.
there are those who have lost the plot!
pollution isn't the way to go!
procrastination makes us hot!
what do you know, do you know what?
pollute to kill, kill to pollute!
don't, then there are those who will shoot!
will force you against, yes, your will!
for money, trees they will uproot!
do they not know the world is ill?
kill to pollute, pollute to kill!
is it okay, okay it is?
you're in denial blind, remiss,
mother nature can not now play.
open your eyes, life was once bliss!
you've been told, it won't go away,
okay, it is, is it okay?

DON'T POLLUTE
Love natures amazing diversity.
Please believe pollution, understanding
It's deadly, possible fatalities!
Don't pollute, recycle infinitely
It's real, important, remembering.
That marine wildflowers' phytoplankton!
And algae respiring, restoration,
The planet's atmosphere recovering!
Sad, untrue, depletion, reality,
Trees' woodland, rainforests, decimated.
Yes unseen pollution, propagating!
Our future becoming impossible.
A rhyming wave, Earth's dying now!
Yes, dying, dying, dying now!
Yes, we can stop it, yes, here's how
Yes; don't pollute, I plead!
This is fact! Not a warning, heed!
No warning, warning, warning, heed!
Ten extinctions per day, indeed!
Ten! Yes, forever lost!
For the rich, no life, bar theirs' cost.
Yes, bar theirs, bar theirs, bar theirs cost.
All life is cheap, they've hearts of frost.
All life, they will soon learn!
With climate change, all life will burn!
Yes, life will, life will, life will burn!
It's time they learnt how to discern!
Pollution will kill all!
A rhyming wave, Earth's dying now!
Pollution will kill all!
