Climate Change and Global Warming

 

Amidst the diverse forests and blue seas,

Lies a land of tropic and grace,

The Philippines, a nation of beauty,

But also of human and nature’s tragedy.

 

The human population in the country abounds

Increasing pollution penetrates like sound

The air they breathe, the water they drink,

Polluted by man, leaving the Pearl of East to sink.

 

Climate change, a looming threat,

Global warming, we cannot forget,

The earth’s temperature and sea level on the rise,

The Philippines faces a solvable demise.

 

Time is pretty long before the overshoot

Let’s put our micro efforts to gain new fruit

A good boomerang effect that is sustainable

An archipelago with resilience and more capable.
