Question:Please be nice or constructive criticism. , shes only 11 & has to turn it in to her class for some Earth day thing.

Once the trees grew tall,
without anyone to cut them down.
Once the rain fell clean,
sweet
and fresh.
Once the forests stretched forever,
breathing,
living.
Once the sky glittered,
with a million stars,
the only light.
Once the oceans were fresh,
filled with fish,
a rainbow of life.
Now the trees die young,
now the rain falls dirty,
now the forests shrink,
now the sky is blank,
and the oceans are grime.
And who kills the beautiful earth,
the hands,
the greed,
the blindness,
of man.
Things will change,
only if you began to care.
