Explain To
Explain to future generations
That it was once good for the economy
When they cannot farm the land
There is no clean air to breathe
And there is no clean water to drink.
Explain to them
You knew one day Earth would be beyond fixable
Yet you never even bothered to lend a helping hand
What monsters will they make of us?
Knowing so much, but caring so little.
Explain to the suffering, the dying, the ill
The cure that once existed
That could cure them once and for all
Was eliminated by deforestation
And would never have a chance to help a single soul.
Explain to the animals
Why you kill for their homes
And what they did to deserve to be so hated
Why they die for fashion, or to become a decoration.
Explain to the world
When nothing is left
Corpses in the ground and smog up above
You knew this would happen
Yet you never even bothered to lend a helping hand.
Since humans started walking the Earth, we have been polluting. Killing animals for decorations and fashion and using up resources faster than they can be produced. We say technology is advancing, but as long as the air, food, and water is dirty, the Ozone Hole expands, and living beings die at the mercy of others, technology isn't advancing for the better. Greed controls us. We are brainwashed into believing the world is a safe, healthy place. War breaks out. Entire species of plants and animals are wiped out. The rain forest is in danger. I wrote this poem to explain how we destroy our environment. Consequences can be prevented, though. Solar electricity can become the new gasoline. Recycling can occur more. We, as the human race, can open our eyes and together make a change. Turning off lights is small. Recycling is small. Not taking the car to every place you go is small. Sometimes small is what makes the biggest impact. Please join the fight to save our planet Earth.
