DEFORESTATION
Brutal, savage, senseless acts as forests are stripped bare
For callous, greedy people show they simply do not care,
The perfect world God fashioned, with everything in place
now wearing out as man’s pollutants waft up into space.
What will become of all the beauty we’ve been blessed to know
when ice-caps melt, when soil erodes, when trees no longer grow?
As future generations cannot share in what we’ve seen,
When dry and barren earth encroaches where once trees have been.
There’s too much talk about it – it’s time we got things done,
As factories churn out endless filth and thus obscure the sun;
So plant a tree and take a stand, do something of real worth
to make a difference and restore our one and only earth.
