**The Way It Should Be**
From Americas rocky mountain tops
To the Himalayan snow capped peaks
These are the things of nature
That all of us should keep
Australias barren outback
Englands green and pleasant hills
Nature free for all mankind
Who seek her gentle thrills
From the Amazon tropic forests
To the arctics icy wastes
Things of natural beauty
When traveled at natures pace
The azure blue seas of the Pacific isles
Cruel dark seas of the southern cape
Placed there by natures hand
To be respected without hate
Drab plumage of the desert vulture
Bright birds of Paradise
Birds of every colour
Birds of every size
Scorpions of the desert sands
And the grey atlantic seals
Both there for a reason
As only nature can reveal
Think about the lion
The African king of beasts
The soft eyed Chinese panda
That our children find so cute
Mountain tops and hidden valleys
Vast lakes and rolling seas
All put there by natures hand
But not to be abused
Animals, reptiles, birds
Put there for me and you
They should be studied in the wild
Not trapped inside a zoo
We cannot alter history
Or repair the damage we have caused
But we can stop the mass destruction
Of the world that's mine and yours...
*Also around the world in fourty lines
We read so many poems here about man's abuse of this once beautiful earth. My poem The Way It Should Be really is the way it should be
