<div><u> </u></div>
<div>In this amazing world we are surrounded by magic,</div>
<div>nature is beautiful but the way we treat it is tragic.</div>
<div>Humanity should wake up and reality checked,</div>
<div>if we carry on like this Mother Earth will be wrecked.</div>
<div>We are part of the whole not put on our own,</div>
<div>we are all natures creatures and this is our home!</div>
