The place we call home

Is the same place we harm everyday

So much pollution in the air that it affects our ozone

All we can do is pray

The tectonic plates are moving

The ground is breaking up each day

The amount of money it will take to rebuild and repair once nature destroys are expensive

The tallies of casualties are unbearable

The earth is like a troubled child- very unstable

One disaster ripples a chain of catastrophic events all leading to destruction

The sea levels rising

The force of the sea so powerful, lathering everything in its path

The animosity of winds at high speeds

Rooting trees and toys with cars at will

Twists and turns like someone with a fork playing with spaghetti

Quite an upheaval of events,

Yet there is no way to stop it

We can only brace ourselves with the powers of nature

Calculating each magnitude

Calculating the atmospheric pressure

Doing countless of calculations after calculations

And of course predictions are made eventually on its severity

We try to live ‘green’ in a world where pollution is our new oxygen

Is that what the world has come to?

Young scientists looking for alternatives

Some making breakthroughs in limiting carbon emissions

All for what?

The world revolves around money and fixed resources

Alternative ways to generate electricity just falls on deaf ears

Countries just continue to pollute and fight over oil

Our efforts in living a more conservative life are in vain

We always worry about what would happen to all the factories if they were to shut down

How many people will be left without a job?

That is our number one priority usually

We never sit and think about our home, Earth

It has been taking care of us from the dawn of time

If we do not take care of it,

Then who will?
