Nature is Striving to Heal

PROMPT 6

"We have nowhere to live",

said the fish to the crustaceans

"We have nowhere to go

For our homes will be seized.

They will be tampered

by sewage and plastics

They will be poisoned

by chemicals and oil spills."

The trees lament today

for rain falling on their leaves

as the heartless burning acids

stunt and weaken the trees.

"Polluted air polluted water

Birds starving to breathe"

The crustaceans lament, saying

"Nature is striving to heal."
