Poem:
.

the wind barely audible
the Creators design laudable

from the oceans waves capped in foam
to the mountains snow white dome
betwixed the plains where the antelope roam
perfect except where man calls home

ski slopes scarring the mountain sides
glass covered beaches brought in by the tides

miles and miles of roads paved with asphalt
winter snows melted with rock salt
cities built along the San Andreas fault
will burying of trash ever come to a halt

ugly graffiti covers the concrete jungle
rivers dammed, ecosystem ruined, just another bungle

what to do when there are no more forest to burn
or will the profit always be the major concern
man oh man, when will we learn
we know that Mother Nature will have Her turn
