Earth Day 2019

What should I do to change the world?
Hug the Earth until it feels furled...
I would have to get help with that,
And it could amount to chitchat.
Think little and climb the staircase;
Be a leader and set the pace.
I can hug a stranger;
Free hugs would be a life changer.
Nevermind, don't touch me.
I'd rather hug a tree;
It is a start and simple too...
Oh my goodness, this could be true
It will be a brand new habit.
Where is there a park with bunny rabbits?
Expressionism, it is real...
It asks for time, but not money.
Honor nature,
And all of its creatures,
If you have some cash flow,
Donate to that cause with some dough.
I cannot change the world,
Or move into an underworld.
Neither can you...
What we can do is protect and respect
this Earth before it is a complete wreck.
I♥ nature!
Author Notes
Day 4, NaPoWriMo Writing Prompt - Write a sad poem. Not happening people, I decided to be optimistic. And Easter Day will take place on Easter Monday this year, 04/22/2019. My inspiration for this poem was remembering this song from 1972, "Teach The World To Sing" by New Seekers. It was popularized as a Coco-Cola jingle or something. And Springtime seems like the best time for hope, optismism and renewal to soar new heights.
