A Rehabilitation Poem
Rehabilitate me like you should
A forest's purpose only wood
A masked owl's home is for the chop
I must obey the logger's cop
A prison cell - where I belong
To protect the earth, forever wrong
And if I am to disagree
It's in the divvy van for me
Earth's Demise
Dear politicians, stop acting so strange
It's time you got serious about being the change
Our oceans are dying, our rivers are dead
Our forests are dwindling - it's not in your head
Our entire legal system is set up to fight
For jobs, growth and riches, but not what is right
We have here a system where the criminal offence
Is to fight for our planet - this does not make sense
No amount of money can fix what's been lost
We can keep on destroying, but what is the cost?
Our planet is suffering and it wants you to choose
We will never stop fighting cos we know what we'll lose
Down, Bastards, Down
When the bastards get you down
You don't have to leave town.
From the ground where you lie
You can look them in the eye.
For the bastards are weak and sad
It's your conviction that makes them mad.
And like bullies everywhere,
They will want to point and glare.
So while lying naked on the floor
Rise on up with a loud ROAR
And walk right past those desperate souls
Because they are not part of your goals
Mother Earth is Angry
Mother Earth is angry
We've stomped on her big heart
We've stuffed up her environment
And torn her trust apart
Politicians only worry whether
They will win their place
Of getting re-elected
In their bullying type of race
Our legal system's failing
Because it chooses to pick
The big polluting industries
That make our planet sick
Mother Earth is angry
She's tried to teach us well
But we have not respected her
And we're off to climate hell
Wildlife Love Poem
Show us you love our wildlife
Show us you'll really fight
Don't take their homes for granted
Just act and do what's right
When your grandkids ask sincerely
How you helped to make things thrive
Tell them you did everything
That's why they're still alive
Wow Colette, those poems speak right to my heart. You would have enough to print a book♡
