"Let your smile change the world, but don't let the world change your smile."


Flash forward in time, what do you see?
Life a mess, no bugs, not a single tree
The world I’d grown to love all gone
So I sent a letter from this time and on

Listen carefully, please, if you care
If you wish to see a fish or a springing hare
Stop pollution, stop death and if time could freeze
Please stop killing the buzzing bees

The animals oh so big and small
The mountains towering oh so tall
The cool blue sea with whales and sand
The food, I’m afraid, is rather bland

But life is important, full of meaning
And the world is dying, can’t stop bleeding
The sun will burn and soon die out
So I’m making a stand, I’m going to shout

What if all the flowers die,
And innocent people began to lie?
The wild animals turned to dust,
No more basking in the safety of trust

Children crying, the worlds too hot
And one last thing, I almost forgot
I know it’s cruel but I’ve got something to say
The world might not last another day

So if you want your great, great grandchildren to
See the world then it’s up to you
To look after this planet on which we roam
And keep it safe to make their home

Very, very nice! I love how you wrote about something that meant something to you and you're taking a stand. It's not too much like "Save the whales!" (just a protest with shouting and signs) but it's deep and sincere. very nice rhyme and rhythm, too..   P.S. Could you check out some of my work? I'd really like some feedback.

&quot;Do not pray for an easy life, pray for the strength to endure a difficult one.&quot;

This holds such a deep and meaningful message, also a very urgent and serious one that we should all take heed of. Thank you for sharing this and great job!
