We burn the forests and kill the trees.
We force the earth upon her knees.
Ruling the earth with an iron fist, defiance flashes across Earth’s lips.
She fights back with storm and rage, tsunamis, floods and hurricanes.
The sky burns, deep red streaks.
All living things grow weak.
The ocean sifts around all the trash.
Pain and death plague the lives of all, everyone cries for the Earth to revive.

Hello, Rain here. I liked this, it was short and simple, the main problem I found was that it has no set structure. I think if you have a set structure it would flow better and be a lot easier to read.
I also think that the you should stick with the rhyme throughout the poem.
Ok, so, here is what I have to say. ( I really didn't read the other reviews so if I repeat what they say, I'm sorry)
Red- Grammer mistakes
Blue- Things I think you should change to make the poem better, in my opinion, or from my expereance.
Pink/purple- Things I really like
Green- Aditional comments
Now, I think it would be good to set up a structure were you have two lines in one stanza and the end words of those lines rhyme. Like the first two lines.
I'm not sure if I made much sence with that, but, I hope it helps. I really liked the poem, the descripsions are really good and if you get a good rhyme going on it will be great!

A very good poem indeed!!!! great descriptive, shows that you care about our world and what we have done to it. relating to the fact of real events, proves handy to your poem. im looking forward to see more!
Greetings from the southern heat, Snicker! I just read through this poem of yours a couple of times and I must say that it has great potential! Now, as a reviewer, it's my job to make that potential shine brighter than Vegas in July. That said, understand that there's a lot of work that needs to go into this because, frankly, I want this to emanate significance. So, to get right down to the meat of the poem:
This stanza needs some breaking up. I noticed that the last two lines (as written) contain the same pattern that the first two lines set up, but within themselves. Simple enough to fix up--just break them into two lines each. Aaaaand done:
Now, there are two ways we can go about setting up this rhythm. And it's clear that you want one established. So, we can do three things: 9-8, 8-8, or 7-8. My preference is 7-8, so that's what I'll diagram for you, okay? Changes are marked in red.
Spoiler
Okay, so I know that I made a lot of markings and notes and suggestions and murdered a few things, but understand that it's because I want this poem to show the talent that I know you have inside you! The second stanza needs much more detailed work than the first, but it'll be alright in the end.
Be sure that you keep a copy of this original form somewhere so that you can always look back on how much you've grown from Square One to Square Ninety-Nine. You'll be amazed by what you see.
All-in-all, I did like this. However, I want more from it. And I know that you can give me more. So that's a challenge to you, Snicker: give me more.
I'll be looking for more literary miracles,
-Lumi
