See What Tomorrow Brings Poem by Nancy Crossman

Could we really be that ignorant?
To believe Mother Earth would survive,
The abuse we have subjected her to
Just so humans could thrive.

We’ve taken all she had to give
And given nothing back.
Now we’re reaping the seeds we’ve sown,
We’re the ones under attack.

There was a time we could go outside,
No need to protect our skin.
Now when the UV rating is high,
We simply must stay in.

Fresh air was an endless commodity,
Everyone had a share.
But breathing today is killing us,
There is so much waste in the air.

Clean water we took for granted,
There was lots for us to drink.
Now at times it isn’t safe,
And the chemicals stain the sink.

Super storms, floods and forest fires,
What a mess we’ve made of things.
Will humankind survive at all?
Let’s see what tomorrow brings.
