100 Feet Tall

Walking home from school instead

of turning left I turned right

before me stood such a sight

all blue and green it stood 100 feet tall

though not the least bit mean

I’m sure of this his smiled so bright

brought a warmth to my heavy heart

because today in class I had to start

reading how we’re hurting our

mother the good Mother Earth

with fires that burn from all our

trash we’re the least bit concern

or water we can’t drink

and made to only think

it’s much better by far

having a big house and car

for my goodness we can’t  

have anything that might stink!

so no matter how hard to try

I couldn’t help but cry

wondering how far we’ve gone and whether

we can change the date or is it too late?

could set back our clock or even would?

cus we’re taught so much of “me”

we forget to even see

stop hurting ourselves

there simply isn’t

anywhere else to be

Moral: respect nature
