ENVIRONMENT UNDER THREAT

By Tikum Mbah Azonga

The environment, our environment has come into prominence
And it was time too
The world is moving, it`s changing
But it`s also losing out
Rivers have dried up, the desert is claiming more land
Huge expanses of water have shrunk.

The world is becoming warmer and warmer
Yaounde twenty five years ago was cold
Today the heat casts off your blanket
The ozone layer is punctured
As more industries come up and more pollution is culled
With income shrinking, more and moreof us
Live nelow the poverty line and further degrade the environment.
