Analysis of Mother Earth
Sun so hot yet smog blocked it,
Car fumes fill the air making you cough,
Oil spills that destroy ocean life,
Birds, fish, dolphins and whales die because of it,
Rubbish that blows in the wind,
Fly tipping in beauty spots,
We all need to do something …. Anything.
The ozone is damaged a plaster won’t fix it,
Weather getting more extreme,
Hurricanes and tornadoes getting stronger more often,
Droughts that kill crops, animals and people,
Flooding more often in places you would not think of
, The summers getting hotter enough to cause fires.
Winter colder, wetter and for longer it seems,
Rain forests decimated,
Mother earth is fighting back,
She is telling us “clean it up”.
Earth is our home not a rubbish dump,
Protests, shouting and riots don’t do anything,
Share a car ride,
Walk, cycle even using public transport will help,
Use the bins Recycle, Small things
Mother earth needs us to change our ways to help.
