Earth's Enemy

The World keep getting smaller by the day The ocean steals a piece of land away An inch of coastline each month goes to sea But ocean to land not an enemy. I recall once I heard wise person say That Nature never fails to have it's way And the small island off the coastline that you see Perhaps is land once taken by the sea. The sole enemy of Planet Earth is man The Primate with the hundred years life span This Planet which sustain him he destroy By dropping poison bombs out of the sky. Off of our beloved Mother Earth we live But from her we take far more than we give The forest that was her's we cut away And her canopy once blue with smoke is gray. Without the food that Earth provide for us we'd die Yet the Planet that sustain us we destroy We ruin the fertile soil pollute the air And for Planet Earth we do not seem to care. The island off the coastline that you see Is land that has been once claimed by the sea And Planet Earth's sole enemy is man The Primate with the hundred years life span.
