A Means To An End...

the big picture...
this minds eye...
the outer galaxy

I close my eyes...
I am in line with earth...

like a marble...tiger eye 
caught watching me...

I feel so vulnerable...
yet aware...

this tiny planet...
we all share...

...yet are hell bent
on self distruct mode

...on this tiny marble
from here there is 
no where else to go...

...and even if there was...
we have no right to invade...

we fail to look after what we
have now...

how long can earth sustain
this mess...

this earth this tolerance
mother earth can no longer
suppress...
