There is no more breath to breathe,
For man has destroyed his own earth,

Cut down the trees, Before they give birth,
Selfish gain, money, pleasure,

Stealing away the earth's treasures,
Contaminating the air,

No wonder we have so much cancer,
Every toxic dump, destroys one more day of the future,  

Look at Gods Garden of Eden,
For so much we have been blessed,

Leave it to man, to destroy his own happiness,
One day, when it is too late,

The air will be completely gone,
Our Children will be wearing masks,

Then to ourselves we will ask,
"why didn't we love our earth, as we loved ourselves,our money"

It seems so stupid now, too stupid to be funny,
What is set in motion has to be stopped,



Cutting the trees down, chop, chop,
When our great grandchild will look up to us
and say....

Why didn't you participate in Earth Day?
Why didn't you make a difference for my future world?

Didn't you think all of this would someday end?
Didn't you care to be Earths friend?

Then as I cry knowing it's too late,
The world will end for mankind has sealed

his own fate....by then it will be too late!

The earth has great healing capacity if we just give it what it needs.
ARH, thanks for standing tall for the trees, that give us the gift of clean air.

I agree Kacy,

I love trees, my den is filled with nothing but tree photos, artwork, etc.

Yes I am a tree huger, and proud of it,
I would lay in front of a bulldozer or whatever it took to stop the trees , the earth
from being destroyed.

Thanks for your comments~

Glad to see another 'poetic voice' for "going Green" !

Indeed, the 'key' question!:

"why didn't we love our earth, as we loved ourselves,our money..."

effective 'write'!
