Happy Earthday (A Parody) Poem by Dipak Sen

I see trees burned black
Dead roses too
Nothing can bloom
No flowers new
And I think to myself
What have we done to this earth?

The sky is ablaze
The sun glows white
Smog stays all day
A forest burns at night
And I think to myself
What have we done to this world?

The fish are full of plastic
Seabirds can't fly
Red tide is like blood
Whales washed up to die
There's an island of garbage
Drawn on the map
The sea turns toxic
An ocean full of crap
And I think to myself
What have we done to this earth?

Babies cry because they know
They will reap just what we sow
And I think to myself
What have we done to this world?
