Nature
By Toby S
Nature is a precious thing,
We sometimes take for granted;
But only when it is gone
We realise how many trees we should have planted.
We build all our houses and factories
To strengthen life's fragile nervous system;
But to the animals they are like ugly freeways
Built over their vast ecosystem
Oxygen is now a scarce resource
That only the richest can obtain;
All those who cannot afford it
Will either steal or die in vain.
All those eco friendly people
Trying to save the earth that's mostly dead;
If we had wanted a better future
We should have listened to what they said.
There's rumour of a spaceship
Designed to take us to another planet
It will be a fresh start, a new beginning
and this time we won't make our house full of granite
