Notes About The Poem

" POLLUTED PLANET " FREE PHOTO.

A Dreadful Question

I dread the thought that Man

With his thoughtlessness and greed

The cancer of our planet has become

Thus

If other planets he conquers, himself to please

Will we be talking about the metastasis of

This horrible disease?

Maria Williams Date: 7/21/2019 11:14:00 PM Unfortunately when greed clouds ones vision then the beauty of nature takes a back seat. Sadly for most, what one 'cannot see' one doesn't worry about. A great Epigram of thought dearest Demetrios. A fave....Maria xxx Login to Reply Demetrios Trifiatis Date: 7/22/2019 11:33:00 AM Dearest, Maria you so right. Thank you so much for your support! xxx

Alexis Y. Date: 7/21/2019 1:49:00 PM Hi Demitrios, I totally agree. Man need to improve how they treat this planet before he can possibly think about a " new" planet. I enjoyed the read:-) Alexis Login to Reply Demetrios Trifiatis Date: 7/21/2019 2:24:00 PM If only Man could understand this paramount truth we would certainly have a healthier attitude towards our planet dearest, Alexis. Thank you so much my friend. XXX

Tom Cunningham Date: 7/21/2019 3:08:00 AM Well man has made a bit of a mess here I cant see it being any different on mars. Don't start me off on cans, bottles and plastic lol. Tom Login to Reply Demetrios Trifiatis Date: 7/21/2019 3:40:00 AM ...no, my friend, Tom, I deal only with bigger things than bottles! Just planets! Haha. I see we agree that Man doesn't learn. He destroys something and when is done with it he moves on to destroy something else! Thank you!
