The Future

By Mustafa Mir DP 1

Come think about the future with me.

What kind of future do you think you’ll see?

Will there be flying super cars?

Or will people be able to travel to mars?

No.

The world will be engulfed in thick grey smog.

No longer would it be a harmless floating pale fog.

Look where the trees are? They would be gone.

For many artists' landscape drawings would not be drawn.

Over time the temperature would rise.

As vegetation and the beautiful wildlife dies.

What about the delightful white snow?

Would it become water, left to flow?

Snow cover would decrease 

Or if its greenery, vegetation and trees

That you like rather than the ice cold snow,

Well there wouldn’t be a lot left to show.

If deforestation continues, year after year

The snow and the trees would both disappear.

This is the future that I see

Do you think you'd agree with me?

If this is the future you also see

Come, let's make a difference with me.

OUR PLANET  

By Minha Ahmed Grade 8 W

​

IT IS OUR PLANET, MOTHER EARTH,

WE LIVE OFF THE OXYGEN FROM THE TREES THAT IT BIRTH.

​

WE MUST SAVE IT BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE,

AND LOVE OUR FELLOW INHABITANTS, NOT HATE.

​

HUMANS, TO THEIR SURROUNDINGS, ARE INCONSIDERATE AND NUMB,

ABUSING THE PLANET IGNORING THE OUTCOME.

​

WE MUST PROTECT OUR ATMOSPHERE,

AND MUSN’T LET OUR DECISIONS BE DICTATED BY FEAR.

​

WE MUST PROTECT OUR PLANET SINCE GLOBAL WARMING IS GETTING WORSE,

AND ENSURE OUR PLANET IS FOREVER, BIODIVERSE.

Climate Change

​

By Shafay Asghar Grade 9 White

 

Corrupt politicians say we're fine. 

Liquid biofuels shine. 

Icecaps dry. 

Major depletions always nearby. 

Anti environmentalists shout. 

Terrestrial plains in a drought. 

Extinctions are increasing without a doubt. 

 

Crazy politicians rise. 

High emitters use all our supplies. 

Agricultural biofuels at an all-time high. 

Northern forests start to fry. 

Great smog soars. 

Ecosystems are in the middle of a war.
