The carbons in our atmosphere
Are choking out our ozone;
Creating global warming
That makes us sweat in deepest winter.
The papers in our landfills
Are decomposing uselessly;
Not being recycled
And forcing new trees to be killed.
The S.U.V’s and 2-ton trucks
Are polluting all our air;
With 9 miles-to-a-gallon
Our resources are disappearing.
The problems just keep building
As the population grows
Destroying our Earth
Our one and only home.
Her eyes the ocean blue
Her hair the wind that blows
Her lips the perfect pink
That sits upon a rose
Her hand the lightest touch
Her voice the calming sea
She might not mean much to you
But she’s everything to me.
We’re the type who for a gleaming penny
Would give up a well-worn dime
A group who judges on state not substance
Not on thought but pride
A gathering that changes constantly,
An eternally rolling sea
Shifting as others seek to contain us
Though this can never be
Now we are told, “You must unite!
The day has finally come.
You must start the global fight or forever be undone!”
We sing, we laugh
We skip away
We rarely pay them heed
The world is fine, or at least is now
How could there be any need?
Leaf, please fall on my shoulder
Give me something to get over
as the sky turns to grey
and pollution exhaust the day away
look to trees and wonder
and fall into my secret slumber
In dreams of poppies and morning dew
and of memories shared with you
With you I share the comfort of grass
and link ourselves in chains of daisies
Good times too shall pass
nature continues to amaze me
-Lizzie Casey
The environment
What more is there to say about
Hippy prancing fun
My contribution
A day time trip to the zoo
Release the lions!
Back to the roots; Green
Getting scalped by the natives
What good times those were
Black disgusting sludge
Steams and burns and engulfs all
Blame Los Angeles
One way to help things
All out atomic fighting
Hinder to start help
