Melting Planet

In the past

We could last

Without plastic in

Our trash


It ends up in oceans

And destroys our world

It kills our children

And wrecks our homes


We need fresh air

People need to care

Cities are going underwater

Trash is fodder


The earth is warming

As fast as a cheetah

Nature is on knees

Because we are cutting down its trees


The turtles are dying

People are crying

We need to do something

Or it will be too

late

This was for a 8th grade poetry unit about a social issue and I chose climate change.
