Answer: 1st poem

The land is in a constant state of birth,

Giving life to all who live on Earth.

Our carelessness and fears

Have taken a toll over the years.

Her land is parched and scorched

As man continues to light the torch.

We continue a want of speed and ease,

All while our pesticides kill off our bees.

It's time to wake up and see Mother Earth's pain.

Humanity's selfishness is becoming insane.

Soon her cries will turn to gloom,

And man will cause its own doom.

2nd poem

Broken bottles and charred pieces of glass,

Wadded up newspapers tossed on the grass,

Pouring of concrete and tearing out trees.

This is the environment that surrounds me?

Poisons and insecticides sprayed on our food,

Oceans filling with thick oil crude.

All sea life destined to a slow, awful doom.

These are the things we are to consume?

Mills pumping out iron, expelling yellow fumes,

Airlines emitting caustic gases from fuels,

Weapons of destruction tested at desolate sites.

And this is the air that's to sustain life?

There has to be something that someone can do,

Like raise the awareness to those around you

That if we don't heed the problem at hand

It's your life that's at stake, the destruction of man.

Explanation: can you mark it brainliest?? please

Write a short essay in which you examine the figurative language in “Concrete Mixers.” Explain what the concrete mixers are comp
PolarNik [594]

“Concrete Mixers” by Patricia Hubbell compares concrete mixers to elephants to show humans have created relationships with their machines in much the same way as with animals under their care. The poet shows how the drivers of the concrete mixers wash and tend to their mixers just as the mahout take care of their elephants. This comparison is set up at the beginning of the poem with this simile: “Like elephant tenders they hose them down.” To continue this relationship, the poet describes the concrete drivers as “mahouts”, the name for people who take care of elephants in other countries. The poem also describes how the concrete mixers “stand in muck”, meaning that these machines are in muddy environments similar to the environments of elephants who stand in mud or muck.In the end the poet describes how the concrete mixers are like elephants working to do humans’ work by lifting, moving and helping to create new structures in a city. The poet uses several similes to describe concrete mixers as if they were alive: “Concrete mixers/Move like elephants/Bellow like elephants/Spray like elephants” She further strengthens the effect by writing that they “…are urban elephants/Their trunks are raising a city.” This metaphor means that just as elephants work for humans in  

Poetry Collection 3 other countries, the machines in the poem are doing the labor of building a city. The poet uses the word “raising” to show that the city is being built up, becoming taller and taller with skyscrapers. Through the effective use of figurative language the poet shows how humans have begun to treat their machines as if they were living, breathing animal

Sergio039 [100]
<span>In section 1 of "Song of Myself," Whitman states what he's going to do in the poem: celebrate himself. This practice might seem a little arrogant, but we'll just go with it. It turns out, that he's celebrating not only himself, but all of humanity.</span>
