To improve overall health and the health of the heart
Is the goal of a cardiologist like me, but there is a large part
Of heart health on a global scale that is intertwined
With the health of our planet, we humans have not been kind
To our planet, altering its ecosystems for our gain
In a vicious cycle, our respective healths continue to wane..
*
We can develop new drugs, design procedures new
To treat health conditions but what we cannot do
Without treating our planet well is eradicate disease from its root
Our efforts to treat illness cannot bear adequate fruit
If we do not reduce emissions, our carbon footprints not minimize
We are linked inextricably with our planet, we must realize..
*
To improve the health of our hearts
With being eco-conscious we can start
In addition to exercise and a diet clean
The new mantra for heart health should be to go green
Passion...unbridled
