TOXIC <\/p>\n

It is certain we have lost our senses,
\nTo Planet Earth look what we have done,
\nOur cities have become so polluted,
\nWe can barely see the stars and Sun.<\/p>\n

Water supplies are tainted with toxins,
\nEveryday we breathe in dangerous fumes,
\nOur crops are filled with chemicals,
\nSurely we are building our own tombs.<\/p>\n

Plastics have become a huge scourge,
\nThey fill oceans from east to west,
\nGod gave us such a wonderful world,
\nBut we have miserably failed His test.<\/p>\n

The Earth is the Lord’s we’re told,
\nThe Bible makes this truth so plain,
\nSo considering what we’ve done to it,
\nIs there any doubt we must be insane?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
