SCARLETT GLAZEBROOK Death by the People We used to be able to breathe the air provided Sealife used to be able to swim freely The ocean used to be just salt water We used to be able to predict what is to come each season Now the world is melting everyday Now backs are turned so more can be earned Now the ocean has turned black from oil spills Now sealife mistake plastic for food Now air is ruined for personal achievements Now fires blaze everywhere, scorching the nation Now heat rays combusting the land for miles, destroying families and dreams Now increasingly intense water and winds drenching and drowning people Now down on the poles ice is chipping away The earth has become a ticking time bomb Henceforth the world should start healing The earth should be put first Earnings and achievements should come after the welfare of mother nature The ones that have the power refuse to share it This destruction started with the people and should be ended by the people
