Analysis of ENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATION AND DISASTERS



            Environmental degradation
               Environmental disasters
Liter the earth with fabrics of cans and waste
                       On land and sea
           Terrestrial creatures destroyed
                Aquatic lives annihilate.

Burn the bushes    
             Animals flee
              Animals die  
Microorganisms disappeared
      Soil properties loss.

Cut the trees
         Degradation occurred
Terrestrial creatures expose to danger
                Aquatic lives
                Face hazards
The works of humans' greediness.

Erosion occurred
  Humans die with properties
   Animals die without hope
  Aquatics die of toxic wastes
         Soil properties loss
   Earth struggles for survival
All living creatures expose to danger.

All living mammals
        Keep the earth clean
          Preserve the forest
        Save the aquatic lives
       Maintain soil properties
            Let the sea lives
               In this honor
               We all survive.
