John Knight - Conservation Crisis
ABLATION the annual ice lost from a shrinking Glacier <br />BRAIDED STREAM one choked with sediment <br />CYCLE OF EROSION faster so much pacier <br />DESERT PAVEMENT once Oasis now infertile and spent. <br /> <br />EARTHQUAKES much more frequent on our tortured Planet <br />FLOOD TIDES now more viscious due to Climate Change <br />GEOCHEMICALIC CYCLES becoming more erratic <br />HUMUS in our soil - below sustainment range. <br /> <br />INFILTRATION CHEMICALS sterilise our earth <br />JEALOUSY reduces our plots of Fertile Land <br />KILLING useful predetors lets worse ones come to birth <br />LIFE ON EARTH is streched and strained - like an elastic band! <br /> <br />MARINE LIFE is affected by endless Acid Rain <br />NEEP TIDES keep on rising causing local flood <br />OZONE LAYERS - once depleted - will never come come again <br />POTABLE FRESH WATER has a sediment of Mud! <br /> <br />QUESTIONS asked - but are there answers? NONE! <br />RESOURCES more & more exploited every day <br />SUBSIDENCE caused by mining - fertile acres - gone! <br />TIDAL SURGE has washed my Grandad's village clean away! <br /> <br />UNCONFINED EXPANSION of the Urban Sprawl <br />VOLCANIC ASH polluting air and waterways <br />WORLDWIDE EPIDEMICS threatening us all <br />X-RAYS showing clearly how our inner core decays! <br /> <br />YELLOW is the colour of of my dry and barren fields <br />ZONES of wasted wasteland my crop no longer yields! <br /> <br />Thos of us who are Conservation Scientists only give Planet Earth about two hundred more years of sustainability - as one of the few Living Planets left in the Universe. Unless the Whole Human Race accepts their God given responsibility as 'Custodians of Planet Earth'.<br /><br />John Knight<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem..../conservation-crisis
