Poems:
For decades people thought:
Let’s use this oil as fuel, let’s make plastic! Make money!
Whereas turtles and dolphins were living their lives as usual,
Into the clean sea.
Time has passed and where are we?
We went to the moon,
We built cities in the deserts,
We have giant crops,
We have thousands of products,
Thousands of shopping centers,
We made plastic bottles!
But, what happened to the turtles and dolphins?
To the polar bears and bees?
To the other animals?
Oh, at least we have one billion cows,
The others we will see in the museums soon.
For now, I feel the summer coming stronger,
Let’s go to the beach and make a barbecue.

Our Environment
The birds fly
in the diamond sky,
the tigers hide,
they could just be on your right side.
The flowers are sweet,
perfect for the deer to eat.
As told,
the animals freely roam.
It was all once like this,
but us humans couldn’t resist!
Dead animals are seasoned with salt and pepper,
just so that they would taste better,
trees are being turned into paper,
for humans to write down a small letter.
Humans had turned bitter,
we started to throw away our litter.
Mother Nature doesn’t need us,
We need her.
Yet, we are abusing.
The bruises on her arm,
Are caused by our harm.
Us Humans could just disappear,
Mother Nature’s happiness could reappear.

This Planet We Live On Needs Help
The earth today is hurt,
Slowly turning into a desert
The ocean levels are rising,
And not all of us are recognizing,
The pollution isn’t going away
We have to do something if we want to stay,
We have to reduce water usage
We are becoming very abusive,
Only we can save earth
This matter is no mirt,
Help me do good
This must be understood,
The earth is dying,
But we have to at least be trying,
Pollute less,
It makes a huge mess,
Recycle more,
So we can have a clean shore,
Don’t take your car
Even a bicycle can take you far,
Reduce your water use
Come on there’s no excuse,
Your help can start today
Just visit climateaction.org right away!
