Let's Do This by Virginia Hainsworth

 

Calls to act now

Languish on deaf ears.

Images of arboreal destruction,

Melting ice-kingdoms

And flooded plains

Tell us we must do more.

Earth weeps.

 

Champions of the future,

Help those who come after us

And show them we care.

Nurture our precious planet.

Go in search of new ways.

Even now, there is time.

 

Ask yourself – what can I do, today?

Climb out of your habits.

Turn the tide.

 

Not on our watch

Or our children’s,

Will we let this continue.

 

An acrostic poem is one in which the first letter of each line spells out a message.

  1. Very clever ... I might have missed that, although the content of the poem spoke to me about the need to care for our planet for future generations. Thank you Virginia :-)
