Read the poem aloud.


GLIMPSE OF A POLLUTED FUTURE
kelly ropper

Where are the birds that used to dot the sky?
They're not gere anymore ,and i have to wonder why.

Where are the fish that used to seim in this stream?
I can't see them anymore. What does that mean?

Where are the frogs that used to croak around this lake?
I can't hear them antmore. There must be some mistake.

I wish there was a clock whose hands i could rewind.
We might have saved these creatures if we'd just had more time.

Time to make people see how we are damaging our Earth,
Time to realize what it all was tryly worth.

But the animals are dissappearing at an alarming rate.
If we don't finally band together,it may really be too late.
