So, why is it we have airheads, who think It’s a waste of time and resources, to Maintain and restore the quality of the atmosphere When no such problem exists. We, humanity, caused this infraction upon our Planet, the Industrial Age kicked it into Full tilt, and we’ve proliferated the problem since. Those of science viewed the shame, while they Studied ways to reclaim, rebuild, and restore • Needed oxygen bodies demand. Rebuking politicians forthright for little to no Action taken, with evidence critical, these knowledgable beings made clear, just how Irreparable this problem will be in just a few years, While continued neglect will cause exponential irrevocable damage, Now please remember we have only One planet. Friends come and friends go Sometimes to stay for a while and Sometimes to stay forever. They make an impact in your life Whether good or bad But even though they may not stay long It’s still sad to see them go. It hurts to lose a friend even If they’re in your life for a week But even more so if they are in your life longer You don’t want them to leave but sometimes You have to let go and move on. You will not let them go from Your heart 'cause they take a special Place in your heart. Even though they are Gone and will be missed They won’t be forgotten, Missed but no less loved. So to all the friends that have gone, You will be missed Always. Some will say: Our politicians are first rate they’re Fixing our world, making it great again.
