100 Feet Tall

Walking home from school instead
of turning left I turned right
before me stood such a sight
all blue and green it stood 100 feet tall
though not the least bit mean

I’m sure of this his smiled so bright
brought a warmth to my heavy heart
because today in class I had to start
reading how we’re hurting our
mother the good Mother Earth
with fires that burn from all our
trash we’re the least bit concern
or water we can’t drink

and made to only think
it’s much better by far

having a big house and car
for my goodness we can’t  
have anything that might stink!

so no matter how hard to try
I couldn’t help but cry
wondering how far we’ve gone and whether
we can change the date or is it too late?
could set back our clock or even would?

cus we’re taught so much of “me”
we forget to even see
stop hurting ourselves
there simply isn’t
anywhere else to be


Moral: respect nature
