Recycle and conserve,
Heed the rights I deserve.
Hear my weakening voice,
Help me regain my poise.
It seems that what you do
Has more effect on you.
I am Mother Nature,
Not a human for sure.
You live the life you drain:
You breathe the air you stain
Drink the water you soil,
And eat the food you spoil.
My gifts you must protect:
From air to ocean shelf.
My love you should respect
Save me to save yourself.
by Susan Chain
