OH Creation!

OH Creation!
What wondrous works, this world of ours! OH Creation! Blue oceans deep, to cosmic stars, True elation! And yet, what tragic travesty, That man pollutes its majesty. Truly an abomination! OH Creation! We desecrate this home of ours. Desolation! Blue Planet filled with open scars, Deprivation. Our fish are full of mercury, Resources are not luxury. Need much more consideration! OH Creation! |
