Unprecedented
The morning mist meets the grass,
A white thick ethereal opaque glass.
The cobwebs brush across my face.
The earth can be a beautiful place.
The morning dew on my flowers.
The sun and moisture from the showers.
A balance of natural phenomenon,
The circle of life awakes at dawn.
The world we know so beautiful
But knew the problems would ensue.
Our planet is changing very fast
While we’re still living in the past.
Times are shifting, different rules,
Eco's altered; we're not fools.
We need to agree and concur that
The changing world has incurred.
Altered effect of climate
changes
Meltwater from the mountain ranges,
Hosepipe ban during summer days
While other countries are ablaze.
Now things are getting out of sync
And making all of us rethink
Of how we can all make a change.
The world we knew we have estranged.
How can we undo and reverse
And love what we have on Mother earth
The lifeforms that have already evolved
They’ve adapted and revolved.
We’ve taken for granted our glorious world
And all but spoilt for all its
worth.
All of it is greed and demand
That has been met with disregard.
Our nature lovers cry out loud,
A small percentage, a tiny crowd.
Have seen the changes over years
Speaking about our hopes and fears.
The globe it seems is getting warm,
Beginning to change our daily norm.
The weather patterns unprecedented
Have now become disorientated.
The overlapping of our seasons,
Aware of the many reasons
We’ve all been told and had warning
About our planet and global warming.
Cyclones, extreme heat, all the floods
The spilling of much human blood.
These changes so unpredictable
The worlds’ becoming so unstable.
Ongoing is the deforestation
For palm oil, so much exploitation.
It's distorted our earth’s atmosphere and
Living organisms in the biosphere.
The ice caps melt with alarming rate
We just don't know what is in our fate
They’ll be a time
the oceans will rise
We’ve got to adjust as they arise.
It doesn't matter what we do,
Our planet will not stay a perfect blue.
Through earths' natural circle, evolution
Despite our poison and pollution.
