Animal Speaks

I am no intelligent and cannot help,

I cannot bring a change and can only yelp

(short, sharp cry.)

Can you hear the mother earth shriek,

Eroding landscape and the mountains bleak.

The excavation and mining of ore,

Became the humans daily chore.

How long will you ail the earth,

Don't you fear the pure air's dearth?

There are future generations to come,

 For their sake please plant a clump (group of ).

Then the posterity will praise your work,

And that will be your priceless perk.
