For crying out loud - let's save the world...

I don't know why I keep posting poems - my least favourite form of expression

Feelin’ Helpless

We produce so much crap it’s a crime

So much rubbish - a mountain to climb

Millions of tonnes in my lifetime

Can we change our habits?

Do we have time?

Let’s recycle and compost our waste

The problem has got to be faced

If we can’t then we need to be braced

Without change

The human race could be erased

Has it happened, have people awoke?

To the thought that air, it will choke

And that climate change is no longer a joke

If change doesn’t happen

We could all croak.

Get a bin for your plastics and tin

Another for glass, just put it in

We all need to help, let’s weigh in

Change must happen

Or we’re headed for a tailspin.

We can do our best but is it enough?

We can’t help producing more stuff

Cleaning the earth is gonna be tough

Change is the only solution

But what about the pollution?

Along comes that oil giant, BP

Even an environmental army

Can’t clean up the Louisiana sea

Oil doesn’t recognise a boundary

So much for making a change

We’ve treated earth so fuckin’ badly.
