I AM WETLAND, NOT WASTELAND

I am wetland, not wasteland

I am Wetland… Not Wasteland Know what I am… You say I am yuck full of muck I stink so bad like a rotten rat. But no, no, no… it’s certainly not that The worst is you feel I don’t deserve to be! Here’s something I want to tell, without a shout or a yell There are creatures for whom I am home, I am their need To help them breed & feed The plants around me Are special, you see. The carbon dioxide you produce Is absorbed by me without ques The dirty water you release Is filtered by me, if you please. I stand between you and the sea, Protecting you from threats that be. Like a cushion I stop them all, While you have have a ball. Still me, you try to kill With choking debris you fill. For you development is more Important The Environment to you is not important. I feel sad and very bad That you don’t see The reasons to protect me! And topping it all I still protect you for no reason at all.
