Toxic species

We are toxic as a species
with the life we lead,
polluting everything
on land, sky and sea,
it maybe controversial
but a fact is still a fact
and unless we make a change
and soon there will be no way back.
From Mount Everest to the Himalayas
to all of our oceans and seas,
the sky above and the air we breathe,
pollution dominates everything
and why is this so
it's simply because mans lust for greed
and mans insatiable need
for things that have very little sustainability
in what has become a throw away  society.
We need to learn to clean up our act
need to put back rather than detract
from the resources that this earth gives
if as a species we are to continue to live
on a planet that can sustain all our needs
but not necessarily all of our greed
we need to stop cutting down trees
the lungs of our earth
that make it possible for us to breathe
and put and end to this plastic disease
and an end to the dirty fuel misery
and start to thrive in harmony with our earth.
