Global Habitat Loss Deforestation Spreads To Ocean Pollution Poem by Terence George Craddock

Global Habitat Loss Deforestation Spreads To Ocean Pollution



destruction still incomplete land lung great forests
of Europe North America were gone but greed men
could now move on to the new deforestation of Asia

South America the Amazon the vast vast sea lungs

of the ocean are still being choked first with great
oil spills later with the vast floating plastic oceans
now enter the 2020 plus decades what do you think

humanity will do next do we see lessons learned trees
should have vast forest been replanted fifty years ago
the next best time for replanting saving the planet is

now now now but still we hear a great global silence
the greed machine men are still marching marching on
still producing mountain mountain Mt. Everest tides

of plastic to fill landfills to choke oceans with surface
plastic matts stretching thousands of surface dead miles
covering choking ocean surfaces filling marine animal

gills the great consume consume parasite race humanity
still has not learned to love delicate blue pearl it lives on
planet earth life lungs are dying lesson learning time expiring
