Poetry: Tell me why

by Cindy Bredwell

Created on: May 31, 2009

The gulls have moved inland instead of at the sea

Men hit women instead of defending their home

Money wasted on spinning wheels instead of saved for the future

Children run amok with a mouth to boot

School is a place to joke, meet, make fun of the substitute

Adults have no purpose, they just drink their way through

Fast food is the common dinner table theme

Words on a screen have taken over the personal view

Cell phones have corrupted the peaceful hue

Rainbows are lost

The ozone is killer

Rain is like acid

Rivers like sewage

Garbage tossed on the side, when a can is near by

Birds are killed from all the twisty ties

Landfills are mounting

The earth is a mess

Mother Nature has turned her back, on the family she hates

Animals are rebelling, Humans no longer are king

Just tell me why, we didn't fix all this things
