If Earth's Tomorrow Poem by Obed dela Cruz
If Earth's Tomorrow
If earth’s tomorrow exists without trees
And war promises that it will not cease,
Do you think that the stars will be favored?
Do you think this planet can be savored?
If our today begs our yesterday
To let not its decisions go astray,
What more can tomorrow ask in our time?
Do you think their request can make us chime?
If you are not alarmed of what is next
Think this time before you find yourself vexed!
Do not just give your love to the present
Think ahead, before in pain you lament.
Never hinder the new sun from rising.
Never forbid a candle from glowing.
Live, decide, eat, and drink with coherence.
With simple things let’s make a difference.
My friend, don’t wait until we eat the dust.
Minimizing destruction is a must!

Hi Obed - This is a great poem with really good structure - four quatrains and a denoument double. Consistent rhyme pattern a a b b etc. It need a little attention to metre (number of syllables in a line) . The context is excellent it merits a TEN. V 1 Planet earth has problems - trees decreasing - wars increasing - HELP. V 2 Do we learn from yesterdays mistakes - NO. V 3 I have eight Grandchildren Obed - who will still be around in 2060 - so I do think ahead - AWESOME. V 4 Power of Positive Thinking - think about it you know it makes sense. V 5 Conservation - Conservation - Conservation. Thanks OBED - if all Teenagers thought like this the whole world would be a much better place. Yours in Poetry - JOHN.
