NO ACTION



Earth is dying before our eyes
yet we do nothing but observe,
taking no steps coaxed by lies,
thus we get what we deserved.

Islands sink from rising seas,
crops perish from acid rains,
dying flowers and dying bees,
all for one greedy being' gain.

Hiding being walls of excuses,
doing nothing, just watching,
this isn't what earth deserves,
we should already go extinct.

About this poem

well this poem is about how we are using earth and it suffers.
