Global Warming Is Increasing

Posted in Poems, School on August 29, 2008 by Shilpa

Global warming is increasing,

Species and their habitats are decreasing;

All human-induced.

We throw rubbish on the streets,

And plastics in the creeks,

Not caring what will happen,

To the life living under,

The once clear blue water.

Tigers and lion,

Once so majestic and strong,

And tall and proud,

Now lie under blank, dark shrouds.

Birds of colourful feathers,

Are now tightly tethered,

To the fate of this earth,

By human hands.

I do feel frightened,

Of the fate that will befall,

Our generation someday.

I wish I could stall,

This dreadful decay,

Conservation, conservation,

The word is drummed into our skulls in school,

We think the people who act on it are cool.

Everyone talks about it,

We discuss, argue and debate,

But what action do we take?

This is a futile hope,

Until everyone starts caring,

The responsibility of this degradation,

We should start bearing.
