Take a deep breath

The humble bumblebee,

Deserves more than he or she,

Is getting from we,

The human race.

Take a deep breath and dive if you will,

Into the oceans of plastic bags and oil spills.

The rivers of tin cans and rubber wheels,

Which we gift without a second thought,

To the damage we create.

Microplastics invade our space,

Entering the food chain,

And in turn the human face.

We chew on bones and plastic,

Swallowing the truth,

Choking on our own waste and then politely asking for more.

This world is slowly fading away,

Like the leaves in autumn,

Crisp and dry and dead.

When will we hear the roar of nature,

Over our TVs and mobile phones,

It’s screaming without a sound.

We’ve lost touch with our basic instincts,

Superseding nature with our insatiable desire,

To lord it over every living thing.

We do not walk, we trample.

We do not admire, we steal.

Take what we want and burn the rest.

The humble bumblebee deserves to be seen.

Our forests and mountains,

Rivers and seas,

Deserve to be preserved for all eternity,

They came first, not we.

And while we may not live to see,

How nature grows and flows,

From one season to the next.

Our survival depends on us.

Change the fate of the human race,

From conqueror to custodian,

And we might still stand a chance.

So, stand up and take a deep breath, if you can.
