Our World

The Green House Effect.

How radical have we to be,
For the world to sit up and see,
What we are doing to our Earth’s land,

the ocean and the sea
We bury our heads in the sand,
and do our selfish plans,
Forgetting about the ozone hole,
and the dried up desert land.

How long have we to wait,
For the world to sit up and see,
As rising oceans buries our shores,

and cliffs fall into the seas,
The river beds exposed and cracked,
plants all withered and dead,
The light force of our unfiltered sun,
with her damaging rays of dread

How mad have we to be,
For the world to sit up and see
Retreating rain forests long lasting plea,

for the death of their magnificent trees,
Deserts stretching out along the land as it,
devours all life with it’s dried up sand
The melting of the Arctic’s vast tundra,
how long do we have......., on this land ?

The world we live in is so over crowded with humans which has leached out resources that was established over millions of years and consequently the Earth has become so vulnerable.We have used and burned up these ancient fossil minerals in such a short pace of time causing the atmosphere to become so burden with the gasses and pollution that possibly now it is irreversible.

I DO NOT KNOW THE ANSWER, I WISH I DID
