Glimpse of a Polluted Future

By Kelly Roper

They’re not here anymore,
And I have to wonder why.

Where are the fish that used to swim in this steam?

I can’t see them anymore. What does that mean?

Where are the frogs that used to croak around this

lake? I can’t hear them anymore. There must be
some mistake.
I wish there was a clock whose hands I could
rewind. We might have saved those creatures if
wed just had more time.

Time to make people see how,

We are damaging our earth, time to realize what it
all was truly worth.

But the animals are disappearing at an alarming
