Explanation:
Sylvia Stults' poem 'Warned' is about the negative impacts of pollution on environment and nature. It has been written as a contrast of two times - time when natural resources were pristine, un-touched and pure and the time now, when they have been degraded, exploited and left polluted.
The poet has expressed her fear towards diminishing clear skies and bright stars because of pollution. She says that the air is no longer fresh to breath and if left unchecked, we might be struggling to live.
"The sands of time have rendered fear
Blue skies on high no longer clear
Stars were bright whence they came
Now dimmed, obscured, pollution’s haze"
The extreme fear that the poet feels is the lifestyle humans would have to lead if there are no clean water, fresh air or blue skies.
" ...For once they’re gone, don’t you say
Consider yourself warned of that fatal day"
