Predicament

Despite a world of floods 

We are still thirsty from drought 

Ice breaking, seas rising

The future can be decided 

But with our lack of care, the world is divided 

And falling apart 

Frightened 

Tense 

Trying to escape this tortuous predicament 

Animal populations racing to extinction  

More often now, faces are filled with sadness and depression 

With our help by 2050 

Maybe our world can be less shifty 

As we glare at the oceans and seas 

We should be thinking about the 15 billion trees 

Which are cut down in a single year 

I am not ashamed to shed a single tear
