Let’s Save our World

I was reading about how the climate in various parts of the world has been changing and not for the better and this poem is a cry from the heart. As the adults in this world, we need to do something and very soon otherwise the world we leave for our children and their children will just not exist anymore!

Let’s Save our World

I sat alone looked up at the clear blue sky as I pondered

Watching the clouds float by and wondered

Thinking and feeling about my lineage

Will clouds and clear blue skies be in their heritage?

I started thinking about the world we live in

The one that we are custodians of

How we have made such a mess

Making sure our children inherit all our stress

Can we as the adults in this world

Make sure we leave this place better than we found it?

But, looking at what our ‘so-called’ leaders do

Makes me doubt if this will really be true

Our children and their children stand to get

A world so flawed, it needs to be reset

Climate change, the ozone layer, global warming

These are not just words anymore but dire warnings

To ensure we work quickly to start putting things right

Otherwise, we soon won’t have a home, things will take flight
