Once upon a time
Our planet was delightful to behold
Great forests the lungs
Seas and oceans full of life
Wildlife flourishing.
Man emerged walking the earth
Majestic over all living things
Cutting down forests, building cities
Destroying other species
Pouring sewerage and plastics into the sea.
Nature fought back melting snow caps
Raging storms, flooding
Children cry against global warming
But still without pause Governments
Pump carbon into the atmosphere.
