School Newspaper: This is a poem about "Climate Change" composed and contributed by a student, Antonio Jones.
Global Warming
By: Jakobi Jones, 9th grade
Global warming isn't hard to explain
It leaves mother Earth crying with excruciating pain
This hurts our planet in every single way
The change could leave us all sorrow and dismay
We need to stop it now so the temperature doesn't rise
People, plants, and animals would be in demise
Changes in temperature due to too much greenhouse
gases in the atmosphere
We really don't need it so show us that you care
Mother nature can't do it all, so lets give her a rest
We really need to try and do what is best
Our planet earth is precious and can't be replaced
We need to act now or our home will be erased.
