Fragile Earth

A Fragile Earth

Amongst the infinite cosmos
Revolving in the galaxy
Spinning its path around the sun
The earth sits; our planet

Attracted by its glory, its power, its life
Earth spins round and round again
It orbits around the great star:
The sun; our light

But this star has caused us problems
By no fault of its own
As we let pollutants crowd inside
Our atmosphere; the air

Nothing in life is truly free
Though it may appear so
The cost for modern way
Is the earth; our home

As the glaciers are melting
As trees are chopped, one by one
We start to lose the beauty
That’s been given; our land

As the sea levels rise, we live in worry
Of what will happen to those by the ocean
In the devastation caused by floods,
We lose what really matters; our lives

Disease levels are increasing
Around the world because
The air we breathe is contaminated
So we loose those we love; our family

The fate of the planet
Lies in our own hands
If the earth is not saved
It’s because of us; our fault

By planting a tree,
You become part of the green force
One small effort is all that’s needed
To save the earth; our life
