My Father and Me
|
||
by Mike Russello
|
||
|
||
The great, big green trees,
|
||
Go as far as the eye can see,
|
||
Getting up at the crack of dawn,
|
||
As you catch a glimpse of a passing fawn.
|
||
|
||
The silver streaked fish jump up,
|
||
As the dew settles in a buttercup,
|
||
With my pole and hook we go out to sea,
|
||
Just my father and me.
|
||
|
||
As we take one more look,
|
||
We bait our sharp hooks,
|
||
We put it into the water so blue,
|
||
As we catch a fish, shiny and new.
|
||
|
||
On our trip home we look up high,
|
||
Into the bright blue sky,
|
||
Today we had a lot of fun,
|
||
Just me, my dad, and the bright big sun.

Gone Forever
|
||
by Sean McKittrick
|
||
|
||
Where, oh where have they gone,
|
||
How did the human race go wrong?
|
||
|
||
Once they were alive, now they are a memory,
|
||
Once they were everywhere, now they're in a cemetery.
|
||
|
||
Yesterday they ran free, today they are dead,
|
||
They were murdered so quickly, so bloody, so red.
|
||
|
||
Why did God create them if their destiny was to die?
|
||
How could they disappear without a simple cry?
|
||
|
||
Earth was their home before we took it away,
|
||
Why did we do take it in such a cruel and selfish way?
|
||
|
||
The end of nature is nearing,
|
||
While the animals of the world are disappearing.
|
||
|
||
We will kill more, some without a blink,
|
||
We're the next creatures on earth to become extinct.
