The Once Great River

In the once great river pollution is rife Nowadays it does not support much aquatic life In a polluted river fresh water fish rare Pollution can cause extinction of that much we are aware On the polluted river few water birds to be seen Most of the river pools covered in algae of green From sewage and wash of chemical fertilisers that in drains into it does flow With so called human progress the scourge of pollution does grow Pollution in it flowing to the distant ocean shore The once great river is not great anymore Do not drink of these waters the warning signs say Pollutiuon is rife in the World of today And the once great river flows on muddy gray To the mighty ocean many miles away.
