O how we wait the blooming season of roses. <br />O how great cheer that we feel as the trees flourish. <br />Today we enjoy our natural resources <br />But it seems we do not know that they may vanish. <br /> <br />From a distance my eyes can see a bald mountain. <br />Where are the trees and grasses that had once grown there? <br />Our responsibilities have we forgotten? <br />We advertise planting but we really don’t care. <br /> <br />Sweet strawberries can bless our tongue as we partake <br />As well as the grapes from best vineyards turned to wine. <br />But who will stand for their existence sake? <br />For sooner, their situation may not be fine. <br /> <br />What did our past do for us to experience this? <br />The sick environment is in dire need of cure. <br />From our eyes I do not want our planet to cease. <br />Plant some more because we should plant for the future. <br /> <br />www.poemhunter.com/obed-dela-cruz <br />www.poetfreak.com/poet/ObedDelaCruz <br />www.princeobed.multiply.com <br />www.obed-dela-cruz.blogspot.com <br /> <br />Copyright © 2010 by Obed Dela Cruz <br /> <br />(March 31,2010; Marikina City) <br /> <br />(The poem is written by OBED DC.
