S.G
(aged 11)
If the earth were human it would scream as it drowned in a sea of pollution and hatred,
Diseased by us humans, who do not care.
We fight each other because of our arguments,
wasting our precious earth’s resources and replacing them with waste.
Why must we fight?
Why must we kill?
We cannot continue to make the earth ill!
Why can we not learn to stop the killing?
We are killing not only humans and animals for sport,
but we are killing our planet and we must learn to stop.
