Poem by Afaf Rabbani Blackfriars Primary, Glasgow

Our World: Our Future

Deforestation, forests now clear  

Small, helpless animals now living in fear 

Beds of oceans, lakes and rivers 

Now so dark and polluted it would give you shivers. 

 

Plastic, plastic, plastic everywhere 

Careless people littering here and there 

Time passes by the trees now cry 

The plants and tree stumps are left to lay and die. 

 

Our future is at risk 

It’s up to us to fix it 

We must try our best 

It is up to us to do the rest. 

 

It’s up to us to make the world a better place 

So our future generations have enough space. 

We must help the world whenever we can 

So everyone will live happily, every child, woman and man.
