Poem
Does it matter? The future of our country, our world, the billions we're destined to create Legacies built on humble ground form concrete jungles our sun cannot appreciate Generations past saw less importance to sustain Industry took place of sowing each vital grain Filth fills our oceans, scatters the lands, and litters impressionable minds More attentive equals more aware, requiring us to read between the lines Willed to us great power and ever evolving ignorance A choice to conform and ignore or seek out reverence Generations ahead we cannot fathom have a future dependent on your uneducated selection So many youth remain unaffected refusing to follow our direction Unaware of Time as years are carefully woven thru deaths spindle Spend wisely should apply to all which may eventually dwindle Mother Nature will undoubtedly tire and she too, as us all, will expire Be careful to Heed her warnings as they continually transpire Passing the buck is no longer a valid option Ambivalence is man made, a deadly concoction that will prove to be our most potent toxin Extinction is not a myth, do you have dinosaurs as your neighbor? Did you go to school with t-Rex smith? sorry to say that your beliefs aren't relevant but who cares where you go in the end if all you left behind were empty cans and a big screen television. It is a gift to exist, yet it's taken for granted, to really live we must embrace vision. Preceded by people who changed everything but even the bravest of brave were only highly reactive. This world we've been handed can only be changed by actions deemed as proactive. We live in a bubble that we blindly assume is indestructible. Well informed fools continue their path, blithely ignoring the undeniable. Do you not feel mortal? It's clear to some but many can not see the extensive damage we've done Signs are everywhere, the challenge will be the years to come An urgent call to action, thinkers and doers are among the highest in demand. Open your eyes to what can be done, Inspire your children to lend a tiny, yet capable hand. Or choose to perpetuate civil destruction by sticking your head back in the sand
