There Is Only One Earth

The Earth is our home, so pure and bright,

Fading away like a dying light.

The world cries out in tremendous pain,

Shedding tears through pelting rain.

The blue sky darkens, a shadow of grey,

All because of us humans today.

Oceans are filled with piles of waste,

This is a world that cannot be replaced.

Human hands create everlasting scars,

Darkening the bright, shining stars.

We don’t realise that there’s only one earth;

Do we really appreciate what it's worth?

The air is thick, filled with shades of grey,

Our future is an uncertain pathway.

We’re the next generation, here to set it right,

To keep alive the once blinding light.
