Our Planet

The beauty of this planet,
our only dwelling place
is seen by those who go
high above and are in awe
of what they can see...

Our residential planet here
has no known replacement
Yet it continues to be ravaged
by man who is free to act
and protect this unique asset.

Global warming has become
An issue at the forefront
and the ensuing sea level rise
may find low lying countries
yet unprepared for this event.

If we fail to change course early
The consequences will be fatal
Not only for some of us but
for parts of this planet which
has stood through thick and thin.
