City of ash
forest of sand
and here we stand
amongst the dammed
kingdom of snow
and sky of black
forever tortured by out past
left to atone for their mistake
never to rest so please for our sake
our globe of mess
from our ancestors past
the children of tomorrow
Left to live in a world of sorrow
left to see this world of shame
city of ash which we once knew
no clean air for us to breathe
pollution, disaster, dread, and regret
we have all murder
we killed the life on which we live
now our children will never know of forests
or fresh air
our kingdom will fall
on selfish desire
out tume is running out
so make a change
and save the planet
as we do not own this world on which we live
yes we have hurt it and hurt it
so it’s our job to heal it

- Comment from author about the poem: This power is a look into the future of our world and what might happen if we don’t stop pollution and chopping down trees. It’s about what the future generation will have to face if we don’t do something now.

Very true write Liisung, the problem is that those in power who can do something about it will not listen as there is no money in it for them.
I do wish they would listen and respect the world in which we live.
I’m glad you understand the meaning of the poem
