The Truth

by Olivia Bernard aged 10

The forests are burning.
The rivers are drying.
The icebergs are melting.
The wildlife is fading.

But all that sorrow,
And all that pain
is hidden away,
By a naive and ignorant crowd.

Yet behind all that happiness,
The truth of it all,
Our world is suffering,
Until the curtain will fall.
