Earth's Enemy Poem by Francis Duggan

The World keep getting smaller by the day
The ocean steals a piece of land away
An inch of coastline each month goes to sea
But ocean to land not an enemy.

I recall once I heard wise person say
That Nature never fails to have it's way
And the small island off the coastline that you see
Perhaps is land once taken by the sea.

The sole enemy of Planet Earth is man
The Primate with the hundred years life span
This Planet which sustain him he destroy
By dropping poison bombs out of the sky.

Off of our beloved Mother Earth we live
But from her we take far more than we give
The forest that was her's we cut away
And her canopy once blue with smoke is gray.

Without the food that Earth provide for us we'd die
Yet the Planet that sustain us we destroy
We ruin the fertile soil pollute the air
And for Planet Earth we do not seem to care.

The island off the coastline that you see
Is land that has been once claimed by the sea
And Planet Earth's sole enemy is man
The Primate with the hundred years life span.
