The earth was like a child again
That waxed poetic like a friend
Spring arrived in a color garden fair
With Daffodils and Tulips everywhere
Ever leaf was singing with roundelay
A chorus of chirping birds did replay
We felt spontaneous, giddy and gay
Wonderlust feelings go out and play
Then the winter chill re-appeared
The fierce windy blast cut our cheer
Frosty weather chilled our delight
Putting Spring forward overnight
Make up your mind oh fickle spring
Bring back sunshine and Spring bling
Then April rain came in fitful showers
Sent sweet kisses down for undue hours
Every ripple brook and pond was singing
Dewdrops from the sun were lingering
Then glorious days and golden weather
Easter and Passover holidays together
Then the sun sang a darling lullaby
And squelched all the tears goodbye.
The world is in a lull and weeping
Yet many people still are sleeping
White hunters strike, club baby seals
Their cruel acts for profit are surreal
Plastic seas kill, no chance for re-birth
Pollution covers the sickened earth
Sound the alarm precious species vanishing
At an overwhelming rate is their banishing
Sea creatures and corral reefs now at risk
Caught in nets they perish, do not exist
The angry seas and rising angry waters
Devour towns, begin the human slaughter
Families driven off the barren sick land
Deforestation is the new monied brand
Overwhelming climate change day by day
Do it now, Save our planet, this I pray
Restore us back to Earth Day's nature
Or does our fate depend upon the Creator?
Protest and petition loud and clear for change
Waste no time to put the blame lets rearrange
Write in and be counted among the first
Proclaim the urgency, end folly and reverse
Activate, do it now, join the outcry, be counted
Before looming catastrophe is fully mounted
Awake and join the multitude in the planet cry
Before all hope is forever lost and we may die.
