On our knees
We need all our trees
Every living insect
The birds and bees
And every breed
Of animal, mammal.
The weather, the breeze!
Everything in our seas.
The bugs that live
Under our feet,
They are discreet.
Lives short and sweet.
And in their wisdom
Part of an ecosystem.
Any kind of seed
The leaves,
The weeds;
Every blade of grass
We forget so fast
And some can’t be asked
Now we reflect upon the past
I say please
To no more greed
For our needs!
Feel such unease.
There are no guarantees.
On our shores so much muck
And as Profits get bigger -
Do they give a fuck?
We swim in seas like sitting
ducks
Enjoy our
pastimes
Now taking pot
luck..
It’s up to all of us
We hold the key!
But there are idiots
Those spill their plastic
Who are unenthusiastic -
The effect will be drastic.
Until the world
Is on its knees.
