Continents

On the Continents of Earth Awesome sights are for view Fashioned for years Astound me and you Himalayan pillars dominate the skyline The Andes of Chile, fall into line The Rockies so apt, craggy and peaked Mont Blanc so majestic, virgin snow steeped Ayers Rock so purple and tribal They are testament to Earths survival What she shows high, she also keeps deep Mariana Trench where Continents meet The Grand Canyon, Colorado's walls The delightful cascade of Angel Falls The plains of Africa, so vast and green Where marvellous herds are there to be seen These most grandiose of lands, as if they float on oceans of blue Solid and rigid, with emotions like me and you Weather cycles, show anger and calm And our Ozone layer, their to embalm Every morning, we open our eyes to observe Just a thought, it's not just Humans we serve.

Man is the only animal that willingly destroys his own habitat. We are the ones who can think and we are the ones who are thoughtless. Vince

We certainly do share a taste for history and earth sciences, James. I recently saw a special on the Marianna Trench. It was so deep, the water pressure would have killed anyone who tried to explore it. A camera was dropped down, but it couldn't explore the deepest parts. Many mysteries to explore, and it's wise to remember that we don't just serve "humans." Great poem!
