A “Big Bang” may have started it all
And into their respective places did everything fall.
A beautiful world of earth and sea and sky
Ours not to reason how, when, or why.
This production was directed by a divine hand
As peace settled over the entire land.
He hung the moon and the stars in place
And made the sun to shine, the world to grace.
Precious gifts for the entire human race.
Out of the chaos came a certain order
Mountains and rivers determined the borders.
A world clean, green, pristine and pure
Ensuring that this idyllic scene would long endure.
Verdant valleys, mountains, hills, and trees
sprouting flowers, grass, and even weeds.
Gifts given to us to use and enjoy
To keep them safe all our skills to employ.
But, alas, precious air is reduced to smog
Rivers and oceans with debris are clogged.
Highways littered by a throw-away society.
Carelessly tossing trash with impropriety.
Tired and worn out Mother Earth
Sheds copious tears and hopes for a rebirth.
Earth’s demise we must try to forestall
Will we be to blame for Earth’s fall?
Custodial money, time and effort misspent
Beware when Father Time comes to collect the rent!
There is only one solution to correct this abuse —
Reduce, recycle and reuse!
