PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

The grandeur of the mountains,

the glimmer of a stream,

sleepy in the sunlight

trees that stand and dream,

distant snow that glistens

so white against sky blue,

cattle in green pasture

which sparkles with fresh dew.



That is how God made it

for mankind to enjoy,

but in our great stupidity

its wonders we destroy.

Big business is prime culprit

ruled by selfish greed,

raping earth's resources

far beyond our need.



ripping out huge forests

without a thought or care,

leaving for tomorrow

no canopy to share.

Tankers drop their cargoes

of oil along clean shore,

disaster for the wildlife,

clean habitat no more.



Our ozone is depleted,

our streams polluted too.

The ice caps all are melting

so disaster will ensue.

We build our wonderous cities,

filling them full of crime.

We never think or reason,

we haven't got the time.



Governmental summits

talk freely of the need

to curb slide to disaster,

then selfishly don't heed.

Words are all they offer,

their hand upon the till,

money their prime object.

ruination proceeds still.
