Poem
Standing on the pier one sunny day, Santa Barbara was sunny, and many children were on the beach at play. I realized that a lot of blessings I've been given, It felt good that I had everything and I had a life worth living. The salt air filled the day along with a calm breeze, Smelling the scent of salt and the crashing waves on the beach made me very at ease. God has fashioned a world that is majestic in it's scope, Beautifully painted put together for us and it's no joke. Take a good look around, take a good look and see, Masterfully painted for us to enjoy a world made for you and me. We as humans (not all), see our world being totally trashed, Paper, cigarette butts, line up along the pillars that in itself is rash. Unwittingly people don't think, and throw these items on the ground. When just a few feet away there is a trash can, they are all around. Why do people do this? When they fail to stop, think and see, That the first rain storm sends all of this trash to the open sea. Take a minute if you would and think? Reflect if we all did the same thing, Our oceans would become a large toilet and what diseases it would bring. Our Lord is wrathful, angry, seeing His masterpiece, His planet, being abused. On this pier I reflect how fragile our oceans are, and I'm not at all amused. Water on the planet is becoming more and more harder to find, Clean water is becoming scarce, our race (Human), is really in a bind. Nations shortly will go to war over this precious gift, it will become harder to find. Add droughts, famine, water shortages, and the lack of rain, we must be blind. All will add to the suffering of our race, a cause of a lot of pain. Because ignoring God's laws He'll hold back the much needed rain. So please for all of our sons and daughters and for all our sakes, Make sure to put your trash in the cans provided a minute is all it takes. I'm sure the garbage in your homes go to the proper can, Why trash the ocean and the earth with garbage, help out your fellow man. A little bit of thought and conscious mind, is the right thing to do, It will make our Lord happy, and it starts with people like me and you. God gave us this masterpiece for us to enjoy, a place of His beauty, So keeping trash off the ground, is our gift to Him and it's our Christian duty.
