#showthelove

Y6 have started to turn their attention to climate change with the recent campaign of #showthelove.  As a result we wrote poetry which outlined some of our concerns for the future.  Here is one poem which I'd like to share - it is thoughtful stuff:

The World's Death

The last teaspoon of oil;
it takes one action to destroy,
but one action to save.
You could save it for millions,
or save it for future generations -
Give them the choice to destroy it.
Year by year
someone gets closer to making more,
but the Mother Earth would slowly die,
dreaming that a humane being would notice,

One last tree seed,
worthless,
or you can plant another -
create a forest of your own,
give one seed to the future.
Will they care?
Year by year
someones gets closer to making more,
but the Mother Earth would slowly die,
dreaming that a humane being would notice.

This I scream at you:
this planet is irreplaceable.
You don't have a lot of time -
there will be a scary year.
More plastic in the sea than fish,
no oil,
which means no electricity.

It's your choice.
Will you save the Mother Earth?
