A voice from the heart of the middle east

2024, Junior, Poetry & Spoken Word

A poem about climate change's impact in the Middle East, highlighting environmental concerns like drying lakes and oil reliance.

Reflection
Reflection

The climate in the Middle East is not in a favorable condition, oil extraction, wars, wrong agriculture, etc. have seriously damaged the environment and caused climate changes in the Middle East, there is a lot of air pollution in big cities, and the use of Fossil fuels have increased. This poem is a protest poem about the situation in the Middle East, many of us have forgotten this region and many countries use its wealth for their own interests. However, oil exploitation has caused pollution to the oceans, drying up of lakes and carbon production and increasing the temperature, so that many people are forced to migrate to other cities and countries. Rainfall has decreased and respiratory diseases have also increased. Due to climate change, countries are facing water shortages and this indicates a big war over water. I am from the Middle East and I invite all people to save the Middle East and its ecosystem and climate. Saving this area and making the right decisions on it can have a positive impact on the climate of the whole world and solve many problems.
