5 children run across a vast, <\/span>e<\/span>mpty waste land.<\/span>
\n<\/span>A child trips over an old pipe and a screw,
\n<\/span>goes through his skin.<\/span>
\n<\/span>The other 4 stop playing,<\/span> to check on their friend.
\n<\/span>They are far away from their homes, too far
\n<\/span>to walk all the way back.<\/span>
\n<\/span>They search for something to cover it with,
\n<\/span>It was winter, a harsh blast of wind made
\n<\/span>them shiver and no one was willing<\/span> to give up any pieces of clothing.
\n<\/span>They search for something to use,<\/span>
\n<\/span>like a leaf<\/span>
\nb<\/span>ut there was nothing…
\n<\/span>The boy started to weep and howl,
\n<\/span>there was still nothing though…<\/span>
\n<\/span>The children lose hope and faith.
\n<\/span>They all start to weep and howl,
\n<\/span>But they had nothing<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Because of our mistakes…
\n<\/span>Smoke starts to surround the factory a mile away,
\nbut another gust of wind pushes it closer.
\n<\/span>15 aeroplanes fly over their heads,
\n<\/span>one after the other.
\n<\/span>They release more and more gas,
\n<\/span>as this all happens around them
\n<\/span>about 50,800 people get into their cars and<\/span>
\n<\/span>release more gasses into<\/span> t<\/span>he atmosphere.
\n<\/span>The world becomes polluted
\n<\/span>but the children think this is meant to be
\n<\/span>because this is what will happen if we do<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
