Australia
I think
my gift from God
is to deliver
his final solution
To the world
I have been telling
people my idea
based on ten dollars
per week
but his Idea
was the tithe
ten percent
ten percent of every ones wage
belongs to him
because he created everything
I did not write the bible
I will not be
the one to judge you
I am not God
He has given you a solution
Australia could invest
creating desalination plants
taking water from the ocean
up into the mountains
rivers flowing with water
give Farmers the chance
to build irrigation for their farms
irrigation created for forests
would mean wet bark and foliage
become a breeding ground for insects
break down the foliage
and turn it into nutrition
for the ground,
wet irrigated forests
don't burn as easily
Growing more plants
World wide in arad land
create more plants
to filter the Carbon
out of the air
Allowing this situation
to go on year after year
is not going to work
farmer looking at year after year
of drought are struggling
pollution going into the atmosphere
is destroying your planet
Granted these are not
the only solution
God gave every one of you
a brain with the ability
to think and create solutions
become organized
or you will destroy your planet
the planet God created for you
I don't care what religion
You have
Hindus have many Gods
but only one God of creation
you all fight saying
I know it all
I have the right religion
Perhaps God is reaching out to you
through all your religions
I don't know
because I am not God
You do not know
because you are not God
But whatever God you have
one day we have to face him
you can say
I fought to save your planet
or I'm sorry God
I was too selfish
I was too interested in having money
too interested in my own selfish desires
Too interested in greed
I didn't realize
I was destroying the planet
I was stealing your money
My idea is to invest ten dollars
But in the bible that parable of the talents
was about investing talents
a talent in Christ's time
Was a large amount of money
the money that his servants
the disciples and from then
Down into the Church
The money you collect as a tithe
or as a donation is Gods money
Invested it would have created wealth
Granted you have buildings to repairs
costs for food cars and transport
bills that can't be avoided
God understands all these things
But if you had invested
in profitable companies
it would not be money wasted
investments return a revenue
