Understanding

by Brittany C   May 1, 2007


I really try to see the world through
the bright eyes of those around me.
Trying to see and understand their
world, even if it's not always easy.

I want to understand the world
and to see how everything works.
But though there are things I don't
know yet. I do know one thing.

We are hurting the world.
Not one country not even two
but all countries and everything
in between them on land and sea.

We fill the atmosphere with fossil fuels.
That ends up in the water we drink, why?
Than it comes back down as the rain.
It makes those in poor countries ill.

That's not the only problem.
Our world faces many of them.
Guess what most of the issues
humans; you and I cause.

We need to stop killing endangered species.
They are endangered for the mostly because
of humans who don't care about the environment.
If we lose one species it affects those who eat them.

Those endangered animals are protected,
and you should realize that there is a good
reason as to why they are. So what can you do?
Donate money to saving the wild life of the world.

We as a people are the one's responsible,
for saving this world and all live things
on her including other people around us.
Show that you care. Do what you can.

But what can we do you still ask?
Donate money to organizations
devoted to saving wild life and
their environment.

So what are you waiting for?

    Wow.
    I have to admit, you are very creative.
    Who would've thought,
    You could use the punctuation and the format that you used.
    It's really, really smart :]
    For that, I will give you a five :p

    I like how you ended the poem with a rhetorical question, it gave it a very powerful effect. I think this poem would go under Life and Society. You are talking about saving the world and what people can do to help, afterall. Good job on this poem!
