Climate Awareness

The earth heaves with a heavy sigh
As the sun blisters the parched ground
Rivers run dry, forests fade to dust
We are but witnesses to a world in pain

The air is heavy with the weight of our neglect
Plastic oceans choke the life within
The cries of dying species go unheard
We are deaf to the pleading of our planet

The seasons no longer follow their natural course
Winter’s chill and summer’s warmth are blurred
The delicate balance has been disrupted
We are the architects of our own undoing

But hope flickers like a lone candle in the dark
Young voices rise, demanding change
We can still mend what we have broken
We are the stewards of our planet’s fate

Let us tread lightly on this precious earth
For every step we take leaves a mark
Let us be mindful of the legacy we leave behind
We are the guardians of our children’s tomorrow
