    The poem describes how environmental pollution has led to the destruction of various parts of the natural world. It depicts how acid rain caused by industry has poisoned a tree and killed a bird, toxic chemicals from factories have contaminated fish and caused the death of many water birds, and air pollution from sulfur dioxide emissions has harmed forests and wildlife. The overarching message is that direct and indirect effects of human industrial activities have poisoned the natural environment at multiple levels of an ecosystem.

    Poisoned Talk by Raymond Wilson

    Who killed cock robin?


    I, said the worm,
    I did him a great harm.
    He died on the branch of a withered tree
    From the acid soil that poisoned me.

    Who killed the heron?


    I, mouthed the fish,
    With my tainted flesh
    I killed tern, duck and drake,
    All the birds of lake.

    Who killed the lake?


    I, boasted industry,
    I poisoned with mercury
    Fish, plant and weed
    To pamper mens greed.

    Who killed the flowers?


    I, moaned the wind,
    I prowl unconfined,
    Blowing acid rain
    Over field, flood and fen.

    Who killed the forest?


    I ensured that it died,
    Said sulphur dioxide.
    And all life within it,
    From earthworm to linnet.
