Poetic-Verses
'' Oxygen, Water And Food ''
We can live without money, oil and gold,
so how do we measure true wealth,
diamonds are just stones it has to be told,
Life is gauged by our planets health.
That's not just humans it's all life as well,
they and our children will have nothing left,
as our planets becoming a true living hell,
of a future we are leaving them bereft.
From our cars to T.V.s over the years,
we are a species that just throws things away,
we just buy another when a new one appears,
working or otherwise it has had its day.
Dumped fridges and bottles, plastics and glass,
if the laws of nature we continue to flaunt,
a future of fear is what we'll amass,
our future generations it will come back to haunt.
We are responsible for creating this mess,
the problem is we don't seem to care,
where it's being dumped is anyone's guess,
as long as it all ends up elsewhere.
Inequality in life is so profound,
material goods take credence over others,
while people starve the overweight abound,
who said we're all sisters and brothers.
The true meaning of life should be just to survive,
yet with riches we are all obsessed,
to procreate and keep all species alive,
is something that needs reassessed.
Will we ever wake up and see the light,
our planet's dying is a fact we ignore,
we've pushed mother nature way out of sight,,
we must pay attention she won't take much more.
Life has survived here for millions of years,
it is to humans eternal shame,
we have driven old Mother Nature to tears,
yet still we do not accept blame.
When you destroy the supports which keep us alive,
material wealth will do you no good,
the only foundations we need to survive are,
‘' Oxygen, Water And Food ‘'
