Who is that child in that photo

Running through the tall grass

Mouth open in a smile

Eyes twinkling jovially

Does he not see the problems?

The dead patch of grass there

The squirrel dead in a tree there

Up on the left, a large cloud of smoke from the 18 wheeler

The rapidly darkening skies

The smog and smoke of the city

So how is it that he is so carefree?

The world is dying

It's breaking and broken

Why aren't you?

Why am I?

Pollution is seriously killing our world. Here's just a little poem about pollution mostly, and the loss of innocence as well.
