Evergreens tower towards skies and beyond
The brilliant sun arose as morning dawned
Rainforests whisper in the morning breeze
Animals linger in the tops of high trees
Crystal-clear waters cascade over edges of land
Past mossy rocks and banks of sand
Vibrant flowers speckle the ground
Dawn chorus melodies beautifully resound
In the distance, snow capped mountains peak
Wispy clouds encircle its brink
Its snow glistens in the luster of midday
As the crashes of waves echo from the gulf of the bay
But to this paradise, no doubt there’s a downfall:
Humans slowly destroy it all
Thick factory plumes billow into the sky
Infiltrating all critters within nature’s eye
Litter and sludge carelessly flow into the ocean
And act as death traps and grave-welcoming potions
Nuclear power plants penetrate all life
Reducing blood cells and increasing extinction [rife]
But we understood our brutal fumble
And we didn’t fall down after our stumble
Instead we prospered and learned from our mistakes
Reviving all glorious land and magnificent lakes
Participating in volunteer beach cleanups
Picking up non-degradable materials and littered plastic cups
Putting our best effort into riding bikes
To decrease air pollution when it spikes
Earth Day is a special day to focus on revitalizing nature
Sustaining dying plants and hopeless creatures
Let’s strive for a Clean Earth so all life can flourish
Where every little life is satisfied and cherished!
