THE EARTH IS OUR DUTY

The earth, filled with beauty,

And to preserve it is our duty.

                                                                                      

And yet the whistles of the breeze flowing through the tree,

Are replaced by the polluted streets of overpopulated cities.

 

The oceans with their beautiful fish, And yet for us they are nothing more than a dish...

 

The birds soar through the skies like the elegant creatures they are,

Choked by the smoke emitted from the machine we call a car.

 

The animals of the land, their magnificence untold,

Yet their butchering sees no end; how could we be so cold?

 

The clouds look so peaceful and just,

Yet we blacken them with our charcoal dust...

 

The animals are not spared as nobody listens to their cries,

For we are humans; we only look at the prize...

 

The deer and the elk, their beauty is without bounds,

Yet we hunt them down because their heads are worth pounds...

Now tell me, will you turn this world around?

Or, will you burn it to the ground?
