Green Planet <br />By Lori Triggs <br />Copyrighted July 17 2008 <br /> <br />At one time our planet was colorful as lush with plants even flowers <br />And towering trees beautiful I can see, <br />The planet was filled with animals even birds more species that was plentiful <br />While the mammals and fish filled the oceans even waters majestic, <br />The oceans with lakes even rivers as the waters where aqua or <br />Torques blue lovely green was a fantasy. <br /> <br />Now our planet is filled with tons trash on the streets even <br />At the garbage dumps filled to the top to no end, <br />The planet not colorful or lush with plants even flowers <br />And towering trees it becoming a waste land of dirt and mud, <br />Even homes plus businesses filled with humans to see <br />The animals even birds is getting scarce means no food or wildlife, <br />While the mammals and fish are finding up dead in the waters <br />Or land means no food or sea life. <br />The oceans with lakes even rivers as the waters are brown, <br />Or nasty green will be unsafe to drink this is not a fantasy. <br /> <br />We should help the planet even ourselves by recycling <br />bottles, paper, cardboard, cans even glass in recycling centers, <br />Make green homes by using reused materials granite, tiles, wood, <br />Bottles, paper, cardboard, cans even glass solar tubes, & solar energy <br />Plus solar water, everything energy officiant, <br />The cars we use should be hydrogen, solar, electric or hybrid <br />So go green not brown if we keep what we are doing we are all dead!<br /><br />Lori Triggs<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/green-planet/
