Choices

Toxic, poisoned, deadly land,
Dusty grey, polluted sand,

Sickness, pain, disease, hurt,
Rats and vermin prowl the dirt,

Pollution, concrete, obscured light,
Resource scarce, compete and fight,

Destruction, violence, sorrow, tears,
Innocent children robbed of years,

Terror, fear, blame and battle,
Media control, herd the cattle!

Lost childhood, deep regret,
Adults stuck, mounting debt,

Barren, empty, soulless gloom,
Heavy burdens, sense of doom.

Choices

Learning, caring, helping, growing,
Worthy life, higher knowing,

Fresh air, seasons, nature, green,
Pristine lakes, oceans clean,

Healthy, wholesome, natural food,
Creative kids, balanced mood,

Vibrant colours, creatures, birds,
Kind, calm people, loving words,

Work together, nurture skills,
Fulfil potential, inner thrills,

Self response, united voices,
Bigger picture, actions, choices,

Optimism, seeking beauty,
Life and planet, sense of duty,
