An Unknown Horrible Truth

Each day passes quickly
As we spray down more and more
We think its killing the bad stuff
Destroying weeds galore

Then our grass begins to die
It withers and turns brown
We wonder what the heck happened
To our once beautiful ground

The days go by slowly
As we ponder and think
What destroyed our beautiful yards
Oh no you don't think!

Could it really be
Those pesticides we sprayed each day
Could they be what destroyed it all
Oh please don't say

Looking at the ingredients we see
It was that horrible DDT
So as we look on at our dead yard
We toss away that killer DDT
