Our Planet
Our planet
We dream of soft, soothing seas
Teeming with life and pale blue
As clear and gentle as the ocean breeze
Where the suns warmth beams straight through
We dream of the rainforest
And its exuberant nature
The wildlife is at its best
Animals whispering to their neighbour
The greenery and all the plants
The bright colours and different sounds
The huge tigers and the tiny ants
The critters that hide among mounds
But this is all a dream
We open our eyes and wake from our slumbers
To see animals, slaughtered in their numbers
There are no sounds of birds or humming bees
Just a chainsaw as it ploughs through the trees
The clear blue ocean we fantasised
Now littered with bottles and vandalised
A coral reef, poisoned and befouled
How can these crimes be allowed?
We look at the telly and coo
Over the animals who are cute
Pretend we care, but still, we eat
Animal products such as dairy and meat
Take a look at what we've done
To what Mother Nature gave us
If the time came, and we needed her help
Do you really think she would save us?
This is excellent.
