This poem isn’t about poverty but I wanted to add it to my blog 

Mother Nature’s plead 

Once on this planet we called earth

We had clean and crisp air

With forests large and diverse

That it looked like its own distinctive
Universe

With over 1 billion species of animals so unique 

Soon to be gone with no sight or a peek

The beauty of Mother nature had been extinguish by

The destructive habits of  us human beings

Cutting down trees for fire

Closing down their peaceful empire

So many animals losing their home

And being crafted in fashion

And so many of them soon be gone

And how could we call this passion

US cutting down trees is like cutting down a generation of our lifeline

With something so evil it could be called a crime.

With colourful corals losing its artistry

With us throwing trash like it’s unwanted debris

In the uncharted sea

With its life now crying out for mercy

Now when we go on the beach

You can see fish and sealife trapped in plastic

With the end of life so close to reach

With this sight too tragic to feel

Like how we are killing the baby seals

Just for the feels

In my poem,“Mother Nature’s Plead” I talk about how we are destroying our planet, and how we are unable to see the true beauty, or the impression we leave on the planet. As you read the poem, you start to understand that I am stating observations of what is happening . So at the end of every sentence I added a rhyming word but I have noticed that it might have taken away from the meaning as it could have sounded childish. I tried to talk about something different but still relating to the main topic of my poem. “Shutting down their peaceful empire” this would show us ruining the cycle of life where before we came into it and we were essentially disrupting the balance that was already installed. I tried to use imagery to best show my theme but it is rather quite basic imagery. The main way I try to convey my message is by using metaphors, similes and conflict . “Chopping down trees is chopping down our lifeline.” this would be the metaphor in my poem showing the effect. “Colorful corals losing their artistry” this would be a simile as I am almost exaggerating how color corals could be. In poetic terms I tried to show the impact of human activity in self benefit at the expense of the environment. In the first four stanzas you can take a different meaning of how we could be possibly be endangering animals or destroying their habitats by compromising their way of life. “With over 1 billion species of animals so unique”
