Poetry – Animals Burn

Animals Burn

While animals fry and fires burn

The perpetrators never seem to learn.

Lands flood and other lands dry

But some people never ask why.

So, profits are made and trees fall

And they do not care at all.

The lies are spread in a cynical way

And the future looks decidedly grey.

Green laws are repealed,

The truth concealed,

Money stashed,

Habitats crashed.

Time for the great backlash!!

OUR PLANET IS WORTH MORE THAN HARD CASH!!!

I wrote in response to seeing the thousands of poor animals fried alive by the massive bush fires in Australia. The highways were littered with the carcasses of dead animals as they desperately tried to flee the flames. They were cook alive.
