The world is in danger

Earth is in danger due to pollution

In days of old, the earth was bright,

Green fields and skies of azure light,

Rivers pure and forests grand,

Nature’s beauty on every hand.

But now our world is cloaked in gray,

Pollution takes its toll each day,

The air is thick with toxic fumes,

The land with trash, the water dooms.

Factories spew their deadly smoke,

Oceans filled with plastic choke,

Creatures lost in poisoned seas,

Forests felled, and dying trees.

In cities, smog obscures the sun,

A silent war that can't be won,

Unless we change the path we're on,

Before the last pure breath is gone.

The ice caps melt, the seas will rise,

A silent scream, our planet cries,

Species vanish, lost to time,

To our neglect, our selfish crime.

Yet hope remains if we unite,

To turn the tide, to make it right,

Renew the earth with healing hands,

Restore the seas, revive the lands.

Recycle, reduce, and reuse,

Choose clean energy to use,

Plant trees and guard the air we breathe,

Protect the soil, the sea beneath.

Educate and spread the word,

Let every voice be clearly heard,

For in our hands, the future lies,

To heal the earth, to clear the skies.

Let's heed the call, let's take a stand,

To save this precious, fragile land,

For every child and creature's birth,

Let's fight to save our crying earth.
