The third planet from the warm sun,
Earth; our living planet, the only one.
Provides sparkling water and places to live,
Astonishing views and tasty food, yet still has more to give.
Us humans live together on this unique and special world,
We care for each other, young or old.
But as humans we have a bad habit of littering the place,
We’re making too many landfills as we take no trace.
Our lakes our filthy, the animals are dying,
Pollution has struck and now we are crying.
But instead if we stop making pollution,
We should pick up our rubbish; that’s our solution.
So that in no time, we’ll have our earth back pretty and bright,
We’ll live happy together with no rubbish fright.
