GLOBAL ISSUES

Only when all the rivers have run dry

And all the fish in the sea have died

Only when all the rainforests have been burnt down

And there is no food for the animals

Only when all the blue skies have been filled with smoke

And the cities of the world have choked

Will the white man understand

That it’s too late to save the earth.

(Native American poem)
