Free Verse Challenge: December is here

The beginning of the end of the year

Wintertime activities.

I never gave mine hats though

No winter, means really fake hockey.

It is currently December, which is if nobody knows is the beginning of the year of the year. December is the last month of the year and is suppose to be one of the coldest. Sadly December is no longer that cold it has gotten warmer in recent years, and because of it the beautiful snow that lit it up at the end of the year has disappeared. Instead all is left is muddy tracks and some cold days. Still even though this winter light has begun to cease to light up the world with its beauty and majestic power, the world continues to dance and party during their festivities without recognizing the change of this marvelous world. I really do hope this year that there is a beautiful snow and the characteristic coldness alights upon our side of the earth. I hope that we are again graced by its beauty. Winter time is a time for realizing the change of the world and its affect on us. While I know that many people die during this time, this time was given to us by the earth and we cannot go changing the world, without changing its nature. I do not want to appear cold, but if the world is changed from its original state, humans and animals will both lose some of their habitats and some will even die. Imagine growing up in a world flooded with water, with polar bears seeing as they all drowned. Children will never know the fun of making snowmen and snow forts. But while I think that humans are hurting the Earth, I really do doubt that humans will destroy the earth though. I really think that the earth is going to heal itself with or without us. And by without us I mean that we will push ourselves to extinction and the earth may never again experience human life. Why? Because we discounted the powerlessness of this one cold bitter season. No matter how cold it is, I think it is awesome. It is a time for fun in the new environment it affords us, snow. Snow and also ice, both these elements can be used to create forts, snowballs, and snow men. Many sports like the winter Olympics would never happen outside of artificial environments like refrigerated rooms. Are we as humans ready to let go of hockey, ice skating and snow boarding? If we are not, then fight for it. We need this place for our children and for ourselves to enjoy this place together. Take a vacation in the equator if you do not want to stay in cold environments. As for everyone else, grab a parka and a pair of boots. This is the world we live in, so we all need to get with it and save our planet. We need to recycle and stop polluting. All this pollution is mostly , just us going against our nature. Every-time I recycle or eat a vegetarian meal I think about what I might be saving. Something like a snowmen, a baby cow or a chicken or maybe some birds habitat(paper). But whatever we save we have to be sure that we are mindful. This land will soon be covered in a blanket of white snow and when and if it is think of how dear it is to you. For me I love it like I love myself.
