Make Our Children Winners

Many people do not care that warming weather comes our way,
Nor that many unique species never here again will stay.
The world keeps going bent on living only as they wish,
Selfishly they churn out poisons,
Our children’s future final dish.

A sewage pool of chemistry waits stealthy in our soil,
Mounds of plastic and its makings, death from chemistry and oil.
Thickly fumes from autos fill our air in brownish clouds,
Everyone quite happily shares this filth to make our shroud.

Blindly many follow common practice just like sheep,
It’s easier just to wallow than to make a mental leap.
But two and two it comes to four despite the media spinners,
The choice is ours to decide who will be the winners.

All of us are important, we must play a greater part,
Every single action taken must be weighed and be made smart.
Remember babies in your arms, and set a better path,
Keep them safely, free from harm,
And never let them feel the wrath,

Of the foolish deeds we’ve done.
Please let them always see the sun.
