A Child Is Dying Poem by Eric Cockrell
A Child Is Dying
for every tree you cut down,
a child is dying.
for every barrel of oil that
you drill and spill,
a child is dying.
for every coal mine you
rape the earth with,
a child is dying.
for all the nuclear waste
you cannot dispose of,
a child is dying.
for every country you bomb,
a child is dying.
for every chemical you spray
on your vegetables,
a child is dying.
for every river you dam & drain,
a child is dying.
for every oil field you own,
a child is dying.
for every animal you drive
to the brink of extinction,
a child is dying.
for every smokestack, every sweatshop,
and every synthetic thought,
a child is dying.
for every tree you cut down....
wow, what can i say, very well said nice everyone must have a chance to read this they must be awakened
Great poem! and very well said :) it's like the saying: the actions of a few, affect the many. Keep writing and spreading the truth, Curly M.
You really shoot from the hit and speak from the heart. Being a poet above all is about being true to oneself, to speak of things others whisper about behind closed doors. The more of your poetry I read, the more I grow in admiration. You're our conscience.
So true, every direct action affects you directly or indirectly. Keep writing, you are amazing.
