Addline: The Earth's Pain

Pari AliSunlight struggles through the haze
trees drunkenly sway in daze
the air chokes and gasps for breath
red tide beats the drums of death
SusanLFull moon glows orange through the smog,
Casts  light on a lone pine log.
A fallen spar with no yield,
Left here on this clear-cut field.
spreadingdarkAqueous creatures gasp for breath
As toxic slime pollutes their nest
Their ancestral home turns to rot
Yet no one gives it another thought.
JM KenyonWater weeps with poison debris;
choking land and murdering seas.
Flora withers and fauna cries;
link by link the chain of life dies.
Cheesy PoofSmog covers the land
It's so thick you can't see your hand
Animals lose thier habitat
Because it's cut flat
wishintreeUKStruggling for life yet only choke,
flora and fauna live in hope,
man’s wicked deeds, their greedy minds,
try to hide behind see-through blinds,
we see your deeds oh man of wrath,
follow you closely down your devious path,
we won’t let you win so don’t gloat,
the earth will survive ….a new cloak.
PoetryalityThere is much distress in this mess
That we have created by caring less
By doing nothing we're just as guilty
Gotta save our planet for our destiny
CatressaChildren are haunted, can't find a place to play
"Where did the trees go, Mommy who made them go away"
Swings aren't swinging and laughter isn't heard,
what happened to the chirping of the pretty birds?
Take it back, make it rewind, go in reverse,
what would you change to Save MOTHER EARTH?
hugh wylesAnd if wrecking environments is not enough
Come on fellers, let's do our stuff!
Strap these explosives round your tum
and blow everybody to kingdom come!
And, of all those we kill in our suicide burst,
Remember it's women and children first!!
AnnDBy hand of man our earth is ravaged,
Its beauteous glory has been savaged,
Earth’s life is dying, has been forlorn
Turn around so earth can be reborn
cherche -d -ameWe need to start acting now for soon it will be too late,
let's ban together and change our planet's fate
Roseleaffor the frogs, fish and the deep blue seas, lakes where they lived all happy til man poluted their waterways
Lets all watch what goes down the sink less chemicals
more natural things, unbleached paper will help the loo
its never to late for us each day to think deeper ourselves
CinaraAn alligator slowly slides
In black and murky bog he hides
The creature’s mystery never fades
In waters of the Everglades

An eco-system hanging on
While other swamps have come and gone
A debt of grievance must be paid
If we destroy the Everglades
qnhoneybeeThe eco-sytstem is to share
not to trap and ensnare
Man still thinks only of himself
Not seeing the Earth for its wealth
Someday greed will destroy us all
It's not to late to change this call
cutiepiePlease think before the plastics burning
tins and bottles needs re-cycling
gently nurture god's own place
love and cherish this your space

-Aquarius-If you sit quietly you can hear
the cries of the earth so crystal clear
let's take off the ear muffs one and all
for this is the sound of duty's call



catzAnd if we can just stop and think
what's put our earth on the brink
what beauty we could still see
if only natures course we let be
dlbrownBut who can win, when money is king,
nature sold so cash registers sing.
Earth's balance tilted by those who lead.
How can we stare down the face of greed?
