.4. A Burning Issue Poem by David Threadgold
.4. A Burning Issue
Acid rain that burns the trees
The leaves of green turn brown
Their bark has turned a whitish grey
From water running down
It gets into the root stock
Of foods we eat at will
Mutating fruit and veg’s
In time they’ll make us ill
Smoke belching from the chimney stacks
Fill clouds with their pollution
To make up toxic raindrops
With a very weak dilution
Each country has a sliding scale
Most have slid off the top
The acid rain is taking life
Whenever will it stop?

Very well done, David. Also I thank you for reading and commenting on my poem. Regards Ron
This is a very good poem. Acid rain is definitely something destructive. I am not sure if it can totally be helped but hey with every ounce of prevention we take who knows.
Nature and our environment is a big issue with me. where I live the air is still clean and fresh. Open spaces still exist, and though most of our wild horses are gone we still have our wildlife. It's poems like this that get attention, it was wonderfully written, and informative as well. Good job
Not the problem it used to since controls were set in place Instead we have landfill sites overflowing with discarded material we used to burn and God knows what is seeping into the soil.It seems mankind can never get it right
Most unfortunate thing in the world. We have to raise the conscience of the society to this miserable development. You have started.
