Atmosphere in despair

Part no more from within

where the depth of peace is bidden

and seek we do for the better

a new world; a new order

Now we kneel and remember-

See the scorching heat! O! flames of fire

they come months after another

where oil gushes like water

Take a flight across Niger Delta

capture your eyes with the beautiful green

then peek not far from the scene

flames soar in the air

our atmosphere in despair.

This is a really good poem! It describes the problem of polution very well, in a way that it will get other people to understand the seriousness of the problem. Where is Niger Delta?
