Big green trees
Clear blue skys
Fresh painted flowers
All a disguise
A perfect picture
Of natures way
But underneath
Rots with decay
Clear blue rivers
Lap at the shore
Covering the fact
It's roten to the core
Birds sing out loud
As they nest in the trees
Covering the sound
Of the earth as she screams
Our earth is dying
And we should know
But we do nothing
To help her grow
Maybe not tomorrow
But in days to come
The earth will die out
Then what will we have won?
We must act now
Before it's too late
We have to change
To avoied our fate

So True, So True
Just a couple of typos: roten/rotten, avoied/avoid.
Sadly, man cannot fix what man did not create. It is a shame when man is given a gift such as our mother earth, and then he systematically sets about to destroy her. God will restore earth, but we will not be here during her rest.
Beautiful poem, vivid imagery, and a message all need to hear and heed but, more importantly, need to admit mankind did it, not God.
This should be a GOLD winner in this contest!
Luv & hugs, BonnieQ

Exactly! Everybody can look outside and see that the sky is blue but not see the array of trash in the grass or google amazon forest and see the mass of deforestation. You've got it right. Great write! GL
