E nvironment to us is very important.
N ow that pollution is more rampant
V egetation is harmed by acid rain,
I cebergs melt and flood the plain,
R oots of trees weaken and decline.
O zone depletion is not at all benign
N or is the increase of carbon dioxide.
M ountains and islands may subside
E very time a seaquake fractures
N uclear power stations’ structures.
T oo many though don’t get the picture.

Hi Luigi,

I hope the destruction of our planet isn't inevitable. 

It seems for as many people that do care about the enviroment, there are those that have no idea, or if they do they just sweep it under the carpet.

A sad state of affairs. I think your poem sums it up well.

No, the destruction of the planet isn't inevitable if we take notice of the danger signs and act quickly to limit and reverse the damage so far sustained. 
I know that I preach to the converted and it is the disbelievers that we must convince that only a concerted and united effort is essential for the Earth's survival.
I am hopeful that people will see sense, Jenny.

a timely poem Luigi, very bleak. Hopefully someone will read this who doesn't care, and it will help them see, even if subconciously

Even though the situation that I portray looks bleak, I am hopeful that even those who dispute the reality of climate change will realise the seriouness of the danger to the environment.
Awareness of the problem is on the increase, Di.

Thanks for commenting.
