I was here

As I stepped on the ground,

it turned into dust.

As I laid my head down,

dawn didn't meet dusk.

As the children played on the swings,

fires were burning.

People gasp for air as

the animals are yearning.

The world is deteriorating,

but no news speaks.

Our future is dying,

while tweets are being leaked.

Our climate is changing,

And so am I.

Sometimes I wonder

if our future generation is

set to deprive.

I want to make my mark

starting today.

I was here is all I have to say.

• I sincerely apologize mother Earth.
