Plea to save the earth

The land is in a constant state of birth,

Giving life to all who live on Earth.

Our carelessness and fears

Have taken a toll over the years.

Her land is parched and scorched

As man continues to light the torch.

We continue a want of speed and ease,

All while our pesticides kill off our bees.

It's time to wake up and see Mother Earth's pain.

Humanity's selfishness is becoming insane.

Soon her cries will turn to gloom,

And man will cause its own doom.

Environmental Preservation

The sands of time have rendered fear

Blue skies on high no longer clear

Stars were bright whence they came

Now dimmed, obscured, pollution's haze

Crystal clear our waters gleamed

Fish abundant, rivers streamed

Ocean floors sandy white

Now littered, brown, pollution's plight

Trees towered high above

Trunks baring professed love

Birds chirping from sites unseen

Gone, paper joined pollution's team

One can't blame pollution alone

As they say, you reap what you've sown

So let us plant a better seed

Tear out old roots, cultivate, weed

Protect what has been given for free

Our waters, skies, wildlife and trees

For once they're gone, don't you say

Consider yourself warned of that fatal day

Destruction of Earth

Broken bottles and charred pieces of glass,

Wadded up newspapers tossed on the grass,

Pouring of concrete and tearing out trees.

This is the environment that surrounds me?

Poisons and insecticides sprayed on our food,

Oceans filling with thick oil crude.

All sea life destined to a slow, awful doom.

These are the things we are to consume?

Mills pumping out iron, expelling yellow fumes,

Airlines emitting caustic gases from fuels,

Weapons of destruction tested at desolate sites.

And this is the air that's to sustain life?

There has to be something that someone can do,

Like raise the awareness to those around you

That if we don't heed the problem at hand

It's your life that's at stake, the destruction of man.

Our Treating Earth Poorly

This Mother Earth,

Who gives us life;

This Mother Earth,

Heart filled with strife,

We love her not,

Though love we should;

Her death we plot,

For life's "own good;"

She gave us air, and food, and home.

That's not enough we humans scream;

With greedy lust, our mouths do foam,

With evil hopes, our eyes do gleam;

Her air we fill

With smoke and death;

Ourselves we kill,

For lack of breath;

The sea once clean,

Now choked with waste;

To drink, we fear,

Will death make haste;

The soil once pure

And full of life,

Now barren sand

Of farmers' strife;

No longer she
Can stand our "love;"

Now we must flee

Like scattered dove;

She gave us all,

Unto the end;

Now we appalled,

Our lives defend.

Planet Without Life

Can earth be Earth when all its trees are gone,

And sudsy waters have become unfit,

And poisoned life no longer greets the dawn

With raucous sounds that death has caused to quit?

Will trees no longer wave, with limbs unfurled,

On hapless earth, that ever in orbit roams?

Will human ego sacrifice the world

To satiate its lust for pompous homes?

Will distant space look down on orb that's bald.

I now can hear the mother say,

"I was once called Earth.

But now, bereft of mirth, I weep.

That treeless orb's no longer Earth."

Earth Future

The waves are rolling toward the shore.

A silent world - an empty core.

Lifeless land with nothing more.

The waves are crashing on the shore.

The fabled beast - a mighty roar,

Extinction men choose to ignore,

And the waves are breaking at the shore.

A new beginning, our fathers - fore,

Human nature set to explore.

The waves are lapping at the shore.

Seven seas sailed, in the skies we soar.

Kingdoms conquered, blood they pour.

Crimson waves rest on the shore.

A fractured earth, relations sore.

A greed that breaks our natural core,

And the waves are turning on the shore.

Gluttonous rage,

We lust for more,

And the waves are monsters on the shore.

The tides are turning.

The land is raw.

Time to face our nature's law.

And the waves are rolling toward the shore,

And the waves are rolling toward the shore,

And the waves are rolling toward the shore...

Forever more.
Human Destroying Earth

Our Earth is beautiful as viewed from the sky.

But wait! Is Mother about to cry?

This blue planet shakes and trembles and sheds its tears

As it feels the wars and the pain of its tenants' fears.

It's the human ones causing the destruction.

Of all that Mother put into production,

Millions of eons shifting lands to and fro,

Forming mountains and valleys and waters that flow,

Habitats grown to nurture all her children

Are destroyed by the greed of human evolution.

Has the Mother taken all that she can?

Is she objecting to the iniquities of man?

How many cuts and incisions can she take?

As species land and forests disappear in man's wake,

She gives her warnings as the elements explode,

Showing how vulnerable humans are in their humble abodes.

Catastrophes are spreading across the globe.

How much worse will they become? No one knows.

The Mother is angry, and she has just begun

To vent her fury as she converses with her sun,

So beware, human ones, and heed Mother's actions.

Let not complacency and avarice become your distractions.

Has the Mother not provided all that you need?

Yet you repay her with ignorance and contempt as you feed,

So open your eyes, human ones, and respect Mother's love,

For this is Mother Earth given to us from above.

Saving Earth

Lives are crying because it's not clean.

Earth is dying because it's not green...

Earth is our dear Mother; don't pollute it.

She gives us food and shelter; just salute it...

With Global Warming, it's in danger.

Let's save it by becoming a strong ranger...

With dying trees and animals, it's in sorrow.

Make green today and green tomorrow...

With melting snow, one day it will sink.

How can we save it? Just think...

Trees are precious, preserve them.

Water is a treasure, reserve it...

Grow more trees; make Mother Earth green.

Reduce pollution and make her a Queen...

Mother Nature

Our world is always changing,

Constantly rearranging.

From ocean depths to mountain peaks,

Mother Nature moves and speaks.

While telling stories of our past,

She tries to teach us how to last.

Mankind, so smart, sometimes blind,

Leaves common sense far behind.

We're moving fast and living large,

Forgetting Mother Nature's in charge.

Amazed when she rings our bell,

Sending us through living hell.

She can twist our steel, shake any city.

If her wrath you feel, we shall pity.

Yet some who speak on her behalf,

I fear just seek the golden calf.

It's true, we must treat her right.

Or we will incur a deadly plight.

Treat her with distinction

Or surely face extinction!

Protect the Beauty of Earth

Mankind! Long before your birth,

alluring was the beauty of Mother Earth.

She bore living things of all kinds...plants and insects, animals and birds.

All, an exotic reflection of her biodiversity,

A diversity you have chosen to destroy!

Why...Mankind...Why?

Mankind! Onto the face of the earth you strolled in,

bringing up the rear in all her children.

You were meant to be the pride of all creation,

but you chose to be the bane of life by bringing destruction.

Why...Mankind...why?

Mankind! To all life, Mother Earth has been so kind!

Like the mother hen she nurtured her little chicks with affection,

as she toiled to provide food season after season with dedication.

Even to you Mankind, she gave the best in proportion

Only to be sentenced by your actions in damnation!

Why...Mankind...Why?
Mankind! You were created to walk but you chose to walk and fly!

If only you flew like a bird, it might just have been perfect.

But No! You fly in all sorts exuding all sorts.

Now Mother Earth is filled with all sorts because you choose to ride in all sorts.

Why...Mankind...why?

Mankind! You have an insatiable desire to acquire.

You plunder the earth with impunity,

Oil, coal and iron you chase in disunity,

fighting even your own kind for control and quantity

just to live a life of environmental insanity!

Why...Mankind...why?

Mankind! Perhaps you have forgotten so soon!

The La Nina drought of 2000, the heat wave in Europe in 2003,

the tragedy of the cyclone in Myanmar in 2008, the constant melting of polar ice caps,

all a consequence of your actions and inactions!

You leave the problems for tomorrow's generation

running away for your present tribulation.

Why...Mankind...Why?

Mankind! When will you repent of your evil ways?

When will you stop biting the hands that have fed you?

When will you love mother earth like she loves you...?

And stop writing her dirge with your actions?

Mother earth looks upon you with her painful eyes

Sobbing and asking you why...

Why...Mankind...why?
