Earth’s unheard pain

March 8, 2023
burning, dry, and bare
as the world progresses
its life redacts
the more energy we use
the less the world can give
sadness
our planet is a timebomb
waiting for one wrong wire to be cut and explode
patiently waiting
she does not ask for help
but she does show it
people read the signs
but not the right ones
businesses are greedy
and scientists are needy
no lunchbreaks in her long hours
oil is extracted
cities are left baren and the atmosphere becomes tinted
fossil fuels are burned
even if they hurt her
for she is a sheep for the wolf of society
not all is bad though
for her cries become recognized
revolutionist identified the problem
politicians begin to problem solve
the people then follow suit
Earth is far from being saved
but is now understood
as the doves begin to fly
and that’s a start
