Our Legacy Poem by Paul Warren

There is beauty in this world
That by nature is upheld
The trees and plants are green
So lush and not at all obscene

But the scars of industry
Blotting the landscape by our economies
Show we have been working so hard
In the last 5,000 years without heed or regard

For they say if we were to disappear
In two hundred years no one would know we had been here
And this world would then recover
To be the blue and green planet like no other.
