Sonnet for the Sea by Caleb Lindsay

 

We have lost the green in our great planet  

By chopping down the trees in our forests 

We use fossil fuels to dig up granite 

We make the planet’s climate the warmest 

We have lost the fishy towns  

Due to our never – ending littering 

Crystal clear water now polluted brown 

The silver fish no longer glittering 

We have lost the white in our bright blue skies 

The ozone layer is being destroyed 

Should we leave such a mess are we so wise 

We eat birds so the birds are just grabbed 

We shall not let it happen we don’t allow 

We need to take further action right now
