Man turns his head with no shame,
pretends he's not to blame...
down the trees come one by one,
the earth is stripped of creatures domain.
Water is polluted from factory's waste,
the air we breath can not be replaced.
It is a shame what we have become...
a nation who just wont take the blame!
Take a moment to look around
at the creatures great and small...
how can we steal all of their homes,
and say nothing is wrong...
just for another shopping mall!!

Great Poem
A well written work you've created pertaining to the harsh reality of how Mother earth is treated, how all suffer from the fallout. A mere slap on the wrist is not heard.

This is just so so true and it happens everywhere. Sadly, so many homes are destroyed by mans stupidity and lack of care and understanding. Here we have one at the moment that has brought a multi million dollar company to a stand still because of one rare little creature that happened to show itself at the final hour. Your poem speaks for these wonderful animals that cannot speak notr defend themselves. It seems that human kind will not learn until it is too late to see the error of their ways. Thanks so much for this delightful, if not sad piece.

Wise warning is giving entwined in the lines of this majestic poem: We must stop making Mother Nature cry... "Destruction" glows.

Thanks for speaking up for nature. Yes we are destroying their homes, we are so good at taking away what is not ours too take. We need to stop before nothing is left. It will be mankind's downfall here on earth we are killing our planet and in doing so are killing ourselves.

unfortunatly true, beautifuly written.
ann, i love the backround, but it is made so sad by the truth that is stated so clevrly written here. I hate to be so damn intence but it makes one mad. We will destroy our enviorment, its simple math, keep taking away and your left with nothing. but the mind set is that money is green too. BIG BUISSNESS,THE THINKING MANS ENEMY.GREAT JOB.
PEACE.

I was reading and something caught my eye. Did you mean to say "can not" or was it supposed to be "cannot". I am intrigued by the "can not" because it puts an element of choice in this poem for the reader that subtley reinforces the explicit choice that you bring to light. I like the "can not." What you say here is so true.
-
Another beautiful write. You have penned another winner here MY SISTER. I am proud of you. You show so much love for mother nature and the world around you. I love it.
-
such truth
This is such a wonderful statement of truth. What we are doing to our world we are doing to ourselves. If we keep going this way We will destroy ourselves.
Beautiful Write. Thanks for sharing.
*Go with God* my Sister,
Valerie
