Save the Earth

Resilience in the Face of Natural Disasters
Written By Jeanine M. Gervais

I struggle to breathe

Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere

Continuously you feed.

I am living in fear.



You strip me bear

Cutting me down

My hopes you tear

I no longer stand strong.



My waters you pollute

Filling me with plastic

All other toxins shoot

Making me sick.



As I erode

Sea levels rise

In a declining mode

Unheard my cries.



Taking my last breath

Paralyzed by this abuse cycle

Contributing to my death.

Please reduce, reuse, recycle.



As the climate change

I need a rebirth

Priorities rearrange

Please Save The Earth!
