The world today is nothing like its past
The trees have fallen, the forest in ruin
Our seas polluted and drying up fast
If we do not stop the end may be soon

Smog and gas fill our skies and hurt our lungs
From money-hungry corporations greed
Global warming traps the heat of the sun
As our ozone continues to retreat

Ice is melting with record temperatures
Animals forced from natural habitats
These creatures suffer before they mature
This is not fiction but rather is fact

We can save this planet, we have the time
But we must act now and stop mankind’s crime.

You were born an origanal why die a copy?The secret to success is the consistency to pursue.To the world you may be one person,but to one person you may be the world.To receive the right answer,you must ask the right question.Don't worry be happy! :)
