He Sees No Warning Light

On this earth man's a blight. He's eight billion today yet sees no warning light, Convinced his ways are right. 'Tis progress', so he say. On this earth man's a blight. His future he thinks bright. He's mastered nature's way, yet sees no warning light. Wildlife has not a right in its homeland to stay. On this earth man's a blight. Species now lose the fight. Man's conscience this not sway. He sees no warning light. Dominion is man's right and nature must obey. On this earth man's a blight but sees no warning light.

Oh I do so agree. The natives believe that you don't take so much from nature that it cannot be replenished. Yet the white man calls the native a savage. Hmmmm Good write. God Bless, JB

Hi Judy. Yes. We now think the world is ours to own. The white man's ways brought industry and easy profits there to make. But he turned away from nature and knowing the balance. The natives knew nature's ways. Yes. We got it wrong. And now we pay. Take care and all the best. Tony

I've always said mankind will cause his own destruction, the clock is ticking. Tom
