Mother Earth

And now a massive hole in the ozone layer
Global warming, not really mentioned before
Like all the wild life and all of the agriculture
Fossil fuels were burning, destroying the core

Rain forests now fast becoming waste lands
Polluting the atmosphere with our toxic waste
And to think all of this done at our own hands
Before long there won't be any human race

Change's in the weather, changes in altitudes
And this only contributes to famine and disease
If we're so clever why not change our attitudes?
Perhaps were blind to it all, no one then see's

That the situation is only going to perpetuate
We are warned by mother earth, mother nature
We will one day pay for the damage we create
Is it worth doing something now? rather than later





note  ................
AGAIN A BIT MORE OF A POLITICAL AND UNIVERSAL ISSUE A BIT LIKE THAT
OF WORLDS STATE,  A JILTED BENERATION , AND ELEMENTS OF LIFE
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
this I did mention  brefliy in the original version of worlds state but something 
wanted to write about seperlety  similer to worlds state in the fact a never of many 
issues that needs adressing though I do think the goverment has the power to do a lot
if they wanted to instead of dictaing these so called public school boys
why was this issue not adressd years ago in the fiftys sixes so on 
the war cant be helping to the atmosphere


NOTE TO READERS OK LIKE OTHERS THIS WAS ON HERE BEFORE FELT A BIT TOO LONG DRAWN
WANTED TO UPDATE PUT INTO BETTER CONTEXT  INSPERATION FROM RECENT NEWS AND WHATS HAPPING AT MOMENT
                                                                 BUT WE HAVE HAD PLENTY OF WARNING

        I dont kn ow to much on this subject so lously put togeather  .....................................

Suzanne Delaney Date: 4/17/2018 12:37:00 PM Hi David: Sorry to hear you have been in hospital....sending good wishes and saying thanks for advocating for Mother Nature. So many people in Groups that advocate for Mother Nature seem to be caught up in political games. It is to be hoped more can be done to stop the tide of destruction. Try to. Rest and heal.
