The Future
What does the future hold for us? Smog filled skies and poison cars And broken land with useless dust And Nature's beauty behind bars. Can I ever show my children (If they ever come my way) The beauty of a sunset At the ending of the day? Can I walk into a forest And surround myself with trees Yet know that it will remain For me to visit as I please? Can I sit upon the seashore And breathe in salty air, Or will it be so dirty That it is unsafe to be there? I know that I can today Do all the things I've said But when today is yesterday Will all these things be dead? This problem is enormous As we gradually take heed, So we must fix it quickly, Using words and thoughts and deeds. Write a letter, start a group Or do something that seems small For whatever is done to aid the Earth Is fantastic for us all. If we save what's there before us So it'll be there when we go, Then we'll leave a gift more precious Than our kids will ever know. Andrew Hobbs, Australia |
