Utopian Dreams, Un-Utopian Reality Poem by Khaldun Atum

Utopian Dreams, Un-Utopian Reality



When will people learn?  
Will they not see that we're hurt the planet so,
Through all the money spent and earned,
No ones sees the planet slow. 

We have started an un-realistic decline,
How have not kept the earth in mind?
Have we been too selfish to try and realign,
The earth is all we have, treasure it,
It does not have much time. 

We have a choice, why make the wrong turn,
All we have is the earth, why should we let it burn?
Do not throw garbage in the streets,  
Why would you want to make the earth weep?

A bottle in the grass, decomposition does not include glass,
Pick it up, throw it out, it is not hard when you think about
All the recycling bins around town, why let it sit and break,
The earth is peaking at what it can take. 

Here is a message to all of you,
Clean up now, before it is too late,
Recycle a bottle, don't kick it with your boot,
Decide what you're going to do now,
For 10 years from now,
We'll look back and say,
This happened; how?  

The good of your life or your children's children,
All generations to come, will benefit from your help,
Get up, act now, it is time to change the fate of women and men,
In truth, we each have our cards to be dealt,
What order will you place them out?
