Living Landscape
Man-made blemishes on earths face
lost appreciation for open space
tainted waters, a polluted trace
leading to a polluting race
selfish motive it's not our place
to take what's living and deface
breathing landscape a giving tree
ungrateful tenants who cannot see
deserve a planetary decree
that grants them sight of what will be
if ignorance overpowers the subtle plea
a blurred future and clouded judgement
what is taken for granted no longer abundant
inspired initiative the only hope
to heal and fix what's already broke
or be wiped from earth, one clean stroke
