Earth

Our planet, Earth, is suffering;
A dreadful thing to comprehend.
Unworthy, unentitled, we
must change our ways, our errors, mend.

It won't be long 'fore it's too late
to change our fate. Act now. Don't wait.

Author Notes
We abuse our beautiful planet in so many ways. We need to stop now, and make changes before the damage is irreparable.
