I remember when life was good,
The sapphire blue sky above my head,
Birds gliding around in the air, free as can be.
The rivers trickled, icy cold, down my back and fish swam around inside.
The polar bears hunted,
Little lambs frolicked,
And the humans treated me with respect.
There was free land, grassy mounds,
and mountains standing tall on me,
Trees proudly keeping me well.

But one day, something went wrong.
The humans turned against me.
All my animals were free no longer,
either dead or in captivity,
And all of my trees were taken away to make furniture.
They took away my lakes,
and I cried, trying to make more,
but they would not let me.
All of my free land became houses and estates,
whilst the polar bears’ home was destroyed.
This is not the Earth I know.
Children, I beg you, help me before it is too late.
