All Creatures Great and Small

All creatures, great and small,
Humans included too,
All live in a jungle,
A human creature Zoo.

All species of animal,
Every seed that grows
Are all being threatened,
Equally, I suppose.

Animals are losing their habitats,
Taken from them by man,
Humans are losing their dwellings too,
Was this in God's Almighty Plan

I think not, I shout out a loud NO!
God didn't want his perfect plan,
To be mutilated so

Take heed of the warning signs,
The wrath of God and Nature,
Try to adhere to the spiritual guidelines,
That is tested and secure.

We need to wake up to ourselves,
And try to do all we can, or
Death will come to all on Earth,
Because of the inhumaneness of man.

I agree, Lindsay, We don't know what we are eating these days. how can fruit and veg be fresh when it has been in storage for ages. Very little seems natural, sadly. Thank you Lindsay. Take care.

We do need to wake up "and do all we can" - "Animals are losing their habitats, Taken from them by man, Humans are losing their dwellings too, Was this in God's Almighty Plan" It is horrible to see

It is Caren. Mayhem everywhere. I suppose when things get us down, the only way is up. Take care, Shirley

More likely due to poor planning by god! Remember he flushed his first attempt at mankind, and still has yet to produce the kind of man He imagined?

And mankind still can't see the error of his ways, one day you'll only be able to see animals in a book, frightening thought. Happy New year Shirley. Tom

Thank you, Tom, for your interesting comment. We live in a changing world that moves too fast for this old duck. Virtual reality has gone raving mad. Happy and Healthy New Year to you and your family, Tom. Take care. Shirley
