Social Justice Poem by Tessa Belo

Ozone layer depleting
Animal species quickly fleeting,
Islands of trash forming,
Smog confuses night and morning.
This problem truly affects us all
So let’s stand tall
To treat mother nature right!
Global warming is on the rise, and no solution in sight!
Pollution from factories,
Hydrofracking and cars.
Soon our problems
Will be as big as mars.
I say something can be done,
So grab your father, mother, and son.
Go pick up some trash,
Compost and save some cash!
This problem truly affects us all
So let’s stand tall
To treat mother nature right!
Global warming is on the rise, and no solution in sight!
Quit driving your hummer,
To the environment it is a bummer,
Trade it in for something smart!
It will be quick as a dart!
Reduce, reuse, recycle!
Follow the 3 R’s,
And maybe our problems
Will stay smaller than mars!
This problem truly affects us all
So let’s stand tall
To treat mother nature right!
Global warming is on the rise, and no solution in sight!
Spread the news
Let the awareness blossom,
If we join forces we can save the earth,
The trees, and the opossum.
