We need a world,
Where oil isn’t required,
No petrol is burned
And no furnaces fired.
We need a world
Where the energy is clean,
Solar and wind farms,
Are everywhere seen.
We need a world
Where we care for the wildlife
Stop the extinctions
Give forests a new life.
We need a world
Where we value each other.
Cherish our planet
For the Earth’s like our mother.
I think today’s poem speaks for itself. No matter what is going on in the world and however horrific it is, we cannot avoid the background ongoing destruction of our environment.
It is happening hourly in every nook and cranny. While we move from one crisis to another, climate change is progressing stealthily, making irreversible changes involving extinctions of species which have done nothing to deserve our neglect.
Rant over. Let’s just find ways to make real differences in the world. In amongst the dark negativity there are glimmers of hope. We can grab onto these and put our energies into growing and developing them until they overcome the dark.
If you were nudged to think about global warming during this poem then I have done my job. Another such poem is Warm Weather In Winter. Thank you for taking the time to read this post and perhaps I can persuade you to follow my blog for similar future content.
Great poem and pictures too. Pretty scary world atm x
Thank you.
Lovely poem. Makes you think a lot of where we are heading.
Yes I wanted to highlight this.
Love this Jamie. It touched me on so many levels. It’s hard not to be sad when you see everything going on in the world. We all need to do our part. Thank you for sharing this.
Aww thanks for reading. I just don’t want people to forget climate change.
A poem of truths. We truly need a world like that, and we won’t get it until all of us change our ways.
It is a sad truth.
Wise words, Jamie. Leaves me longing for a brighter future, which I’m hopeful is possible.
