''You Need Help.''


The waves against the shore,
The wind against the sand,
All these things we look over,
But none may understand,

The misery the Earth shows,
The dark clouds and rainy days,
All these things we look over,
But never know we will pay,

The animals scurrying nightly,
Hiding throughout the day,
All these things we look over,
But will come for us someday,

From the day we set foot on the Earth,
We have always had a plan,
But when we first walked the streets,
Earth hopes someone would stand

This poem was influenced by the things I have seen. From the car's unhealthy smoke, to the big factories heavy smoke, we are killing the Earth. I believe it's time to make a stand. Go Green!!!
