  WARNED (POEM) Poem by     : Sylvia Tuts Wrote in     : October, 2015 Watch here     :  https://youtu.be/cYLeXmncrx8 The sands of time have rendered fear  Blue skies on high no longer clear  Stars were bright whence they came  Now dimmed, obscured, pollution’s haze  Crystal clear our waters gleamed  Fish abundant, rivers streamed  Ocean floors sandy white  Now littered, brown, pollution’s plight  Trees towered high above  Trunks baring professed love  Birds chirping from sites unseen  Gone, paper joined pollution’s team  One can’t blame pollution alone  As they say, you reap what you’ve sown  So let us plant a better seed  Tear out old roots, cultivate, weed  Protect what has been given for free  Our waters, skies, wildlife and trees  For once they’re gone, don’t you say  Consider yourself warned of that fatal day
