A "poem" in haiku (5-7-5) format... 🌎


Poem Artwork

 Earth Day 2023   

 🌎

 

when I was a child

my father taught me respect

and love of nature

 

together we sowed

flower seeds and planted trees

I still do today

 

as years have gone by

I have become more dismayed

by Man’s callousness

 

the world is a mess

we have but ourselves to blame

one reaps what one sows

 

God the Creator

gave humanity choices

and now here we are

 

we have reached the point

where we have a sole option

to live and let die

 

blessèd be Earth Day

let us all act together

to restore our home

Regis this brought my tears. My parents taught me the same values yours taught you. I remember sowing seeds in the garden and harvesting the plants. There seems to be so little respect and thankfulness left in this modern time. This is an important poem, thank you for sharing.

Such beauty you produce with your pen, Regis!

The Truth beams through and the Light reflects your pure mind and true heart.

May it be so, may the LORD bless our collective efforts to change what is wrong, and may callous Man lay down his collective weapons: those which divide and conquer, kill, steal and destroy..

You are such a blessing to my soul!
And my grandson JM is here reading with me.. and he said, Amen, Brother!

Love & Hugs & Blessings be unto you always, Reg.

I like the way you have called on those who are religious to do their duty to their various gods and change their ways towards cleaning up the "mess" you describe we are creating and making our earth more healthy again.

In the Whirlwind by Tichaona Chinyelu

In the Whirlwind is a poetic storm that frees history from the cages of corruption and puts it in the hands of everyday people. Words are weaved into a new fashion statement that has nothing to do with runways but everything to do with projects!
