Dear Earth

Oh, dear Earth!
How you have been disarranged.
All dirty, depressed and miserable,
You have been dumped with pollution and climate change.

World, sweet world.
How you try to hold up the recycling symbol,
All day and all night.
Yet we fail you dismally.

Oh, dear Earth
There are no discounts.
So keep soldiering on,
It’s the effort that counts.
