So this was tasked to us in health class. We need to make a poem relating to environmental problems, about community and stuff. This is what I made.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Pollution is harmful,
Pollution is deadly,
It'll forever be dangerous
And never human-friendly.

But what can we do?
For it is us who caused it.
Can we shoulder the burden
Saying everything's worth it?

In front of us is a trash bin
But we pay no heed.
We always ignore rules
And do some wrong deeds.

We throw trash here,
Throw trash there,
Trash, trash,
Everywhere!

We burn plastics, objects,
And other stuffs not meant to be burned,
And make a small hole in the ozone
Which makes the planet go hotter.

Because of this,
Other species die
From starvation and thirst
And plants go dry.

These problems indeed
Are like deductive approach.
From smaller to bigger,
Bigger than a roach.

If we can just find a solution,
Then there'd be no problem.
But it's not caused by nature
But us humans, our brethen.

It might be too late to solve it
But it won't hurt to reduce.
If someone can just take the first step
And put their wisdom to good use.
