Planet Earth Poem by Frederick Nellist

Blue earth and blue sky
where going your beauty
Obscured since my youth
What reason tell me why
Carers forsaking a duty.

Pestilence or care not
Greed infested thinking
No more milk and honey
Careless hands forgot
land is slowly shrinking.

Fearful concern not seen
Ocean devouring the land
Flowers and trees retard
Faint memory colour green
Be aware and understand.

Laughing now later to cry
A legacy of utter despair
Answers are long over due
Is this then a long goodbye
A miracle to fashion repair.
