David Threadgold www.davidthreadgold.com - .4. A Burning Issue

Acid rain that burns the trees
The leaves of green turn brown
Their bark has turned a whitish grey
From water running down

It gets into the root stock
Of foods we eat at will
Mutating fruit and veg’s
In time they’ll make us ill

Smoke belching from the chimney stacks
Fill clouds with their pollution
To make up toxic raindrops
With a very weak dilution

Each country has a sliding scale
Most have slid off the top
The acid rain is taking life
Whenever will it stop?
