Many years I have travelled,
around Englands country green.
I have climbed many mountains,
with views that are serene.
I have sailed across the ocean,
in tempest and in calm, holding a deep love,
for my country that keeps me from harm.
I have travelled round the world,
and seen all it's wonders.
I have also seen devastation,
from mans stupid blunder's.
The disappearance of the wildlife,
as they destroy all the green.
To make way for concrete jungles,
where no beauty can be seen.
Then fill the air with pollution,
from fast car's and insecticides,
and the effect it has on our coastline,
as she decays into the tides.
I have looked upon the people,
they dont know what harm they do.
They work in countless numbers,
just to satisfy the few.
This wonderful world is changing,
and our eyes are too blind to see.
Is there hope for the future,
perhaps one day, we may find the key.

The truth is told loud and clear for all the world to see and hear. England is suffering and the whole world too for what man continues to do. Pollute the earth, poison the animals, man will die eventually, because he- refuses to see. We must think of our children and the children they will bear. The time is now to hold the earth dear.--Thankyou Sylvia for sharing this message---Excellent piece, indeed.--Melvina---
