Silent Inclination - Overwhelming Trepidation

A solitary tear poised bravely on my façade
What has made this experience so odd?
Walking slowing toward the bend
Into discontentment I do descend
Up and over a silent inclination
With overwhelming trepidation
Can it all be so bleak?
Is humanity really so weak?
If we spend the time
We might halt this dreadful crime
The environment needs us in this instant
We will fix it if we are not complacent
Mother Nature has take care of us
Now its time for us to fuss
Take the time to care of her
We can save her that is for sure
Let us all clean up this mess
For our future we must bless
We must do it for our children’s children
It is for them we shall not ruin
It must be saved, we must preserve
I just know we can conserve
Let us look to another day
Where will the children play?
