Wake up America!

This poem is all about getting involved and helping to improve America, the environment, and help solve the situations that we are currently going through.

 

Our names echoes through the valleys

Hollering from place to place

We do know why she’s calling

And who she’s calling

Yet we… just don’t want to listen

We want to ignore the sounds

And keep on throwing our garbage on her ground

Cut down her trees…without permission

You’re probably thinking,

Who cares anyway?

Everyone thinks they will just follow in with the crowd

And murder the creatures

Who share this land we call home with us

Well, let me tell you a story…

Once upon a time; once upon a reality

No one was surrounded in a world all about themselves

Because people knew back than,

The rights from the wrongs

People lived peacefully with their environment

Nobody destroyed anything

That wasn’t theirs to destroy

For everyone knew and everyone obeyed

The laws and powers of Mother Nature

She used to call our names peacefully

One at a time

And now she has to

Scream them throughout the country

A billion or more each day

So, I believe it’s time…time

To be aware of the situations

Our home’s future beauty too

How would your future look

If our home was completely destroyed?

Think about it for a second or week or so

But please, I beg you…just beg you

Not to think about it for a lifetime

Or even a year

Because by than it will just be too late

Too late to turn the future around

So, wake up America

Share our peacefulness with the rest of the world

Give our apologies to the unhealthy environment

Where we stand

Is our home

So, let us protect her

And all that she does for us

Let us not forget… to show her our love

For she is a coughing and weak environmental nation

Just show your appreciation

‘Cause there isn’t a replacement

For any dying country

And for any dying world

Remember…just remember

She screams out our names

As she recalls

The presents she gave to humanity-

Sunlight, food, water, and life

And what we gave her in return-

Endangered species she once created

 With her strong energy

Global Warming and tons…and tons of litter on the ground

Just by that,

What do you believe right now?

She gave us everything we have

And everything that is our necessities

And we’re the ones

Destroying our homes; destroying our own lives

And even worse…

We destroyed the lives of millions of others

From birds to whales

And frogs to humans

In the process that was too easy

Too easy for us to finish

I believe it’s time

To restore what we destroyed

So, wake up America

Wake up America!

There’s no better or more efficient time

Than the present

To change the direction we’re running towards

It’s now…or our home will be destroyed

As she screams our names softer…and softer

Just withering away

Away to nothing... at all

So, wake up America

Wake up America!
