Melted

Slowly, right under our noses.. its melting.
We don't take the time to realise.. its melting.
As people waste and discard.. its melting.
As people use and pollute.. its melting.
It is screaming out for help,
but no one is listening.
It is fading and disappearing,
but no one is looking.
Just how long before someone takes notice?
How long will it have to suffer before someone takes action?
Will it already be over before anyone noticed it even began?
But it would be too late
and the chance to change is gone,
and all will be over. gone. melted.
