Heavy metal is coming to the Arctic
Men will come and grind and drill
And plummet the depths of the Arctic seas
Plundering the wealth hidden in the depths.
The noise of their ships and drilling will
Confuse the great whales as they swim
Looking for krill to eat and survive.
But there is oil in the depths of the Arctic.
How do you treat a polar bear covered in oil?
How do you treat an oil covered walrus?
How many Orca’s and narwhal have to die
When the arctic has been polluted with oil?
Recent years have shown ice in the arctic
Has melted away and polar bears struggle to
Survive. What arctic sunrise awaits them now
That men have come to drill for oil?
Well done Dave we should all be up in arms over this maybe if we all shout loud enough we will be heard
When we extract out Nature's bounty beyond a certain limit, it will have far reaching consequences which each succeeding generation will have to bear in rising intensities! Unless man learns to curb his greed for greater wealth, man and animals will be in peril! A great poem with a warning, never to be ignored!
Man is continually destroying his environment and the planet will and is rebelling. Good one Dave.
Arctic to Antarctica it is a sad tale true Mankind's greed hitting the white and blue Whales may die or penguins fly Who cares when there is oil to sell or buy......... (Touched by your feelings and good poem Sir)
It's a serious global problem and men should stop being greedy and think about environment
Really good poem and shows concerns towards environmental issues well
A beautiful poem about Arctic and expressing your concern about Arctic when man is forcibly scratching the virgin land.... very nice
David, this is a great piece of work. You should submit it to any number of Environmentally focused magazines - their readers would truly appreciate it. Cheers!
