I tasted the dawn of promise
Life is so much more than ME
I looked into the eyes of BEING
It encompasses all of creation
All of which cries out for notice
Notice of what requires thought
Thoughts that edify heart and soul
Souls that need spiritual embracing
Humanity hungering for help and love
Landscape that needs careful tending
Animals that we are all responsible for
Our planet and all of its elements are
Our concern, we need to be more aware
Of all things besides ME that has needs
Our waters are still being poisoned
Stripped rain forests are losing their power
We are obliged to do more than complain
Expand our vision to include universe
Take our minds off SELF to improve US
Inspire each other to see with new eyes
Open our ears to sounds besides music
Come out of our cocoon to see the world
A world that is dying for lack of our care
With many in poverty their cubbards bare
Earth day should be celebrated every day
Before exhorbitant bills come ,that we can't pay

I truly hope many heed the call, Tiger Lily - for I fear that soon, it will be much too late.
(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. :(
Earth Day should be every day, as you so powerfully said. What we've done to ruin Creator's planet is sinful. A poignant, thought provoking call for change, effectively penned. Now, if people will heed the warning, before it's too late...thank you, my friend.
(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

You sound a timely and dutiful warning here to the naysayers in our midst, who turn a deaf ear and hard heart to the injustices in our world, the inequalities in our society, and the irreparable damage that is being waged on our Planet and Environment, by the ravages and excesses of Mankind !
If we don't heed this urgent warning, and quickly remedy the situation, we are staring at utter oblivion and obliteration for the inhabitants of Earth !
Love
Peter
