Contradiction
(naga uta poem)

in this rural place
forest once ever so deep-
one needs to destroy
acres of trees to create
a stronger living signal…
the moon and stars scrutinize

Hi Harry, I was going to say that I'm sure Lindsay would enjoy this poem, and scrolled down to see that he certainly did! Humanity will one day, sooner rather than later, have to pay for the destruction to our Planet and for our abominable behavior for which we will be held accountable for, globally. The moon and stars do scrutinize us, and the clouds and sky cries, heralding disaster. Beautiful write. hugs, blessings, Jennifer.

Hello Harry ... after clearing the natural forest for pasture, much is being planted with Pinus Radiata and Blue Gum now in plantations that offer nothing for the environment - enjoyed this verse Harry - Lindsay

Harry, I thank God you are writing such poems! They need to assign you a space on the op Ed pages across the country! Bravo!

The moon and stars scrutinize... as man pollutes and disrespects not only earth, but then reaches out to litter the cosmos with space junk. Terribly sad. I'm glad you penned this, Harry. I hope you have a wonderful and blessed new year ~BJ

We are all part of one Creation. More thinking about the impact of our choices would be a benefit to all of creation. Bill

WE do not scream when 5g is planted like innocent bird seeds The cities with the most 5G had the most deaths from Covid deaths? Yet we demand 5G The cities are; Wuhan, New York and Milan. Nobody to blame....learn! Happy New Year Panagiota

Happy New Year Harry; we just won a Court verdict against SHELL doing Ocean blasts/seismic exploration on East Coast (Wild Coast) of South Africa. It's not over ... when BIG BUCKS can buy the BEST of us. Yet we hope ... I imagine a scene of Cellphone towers replacing beloved trees. shalom shalom dear Poet - Weaver - of poems, tales, many loves.

True, to destroy in order to create seems more harmful, I imagine the moon and stars do not approve~

Enjoyed reading your work. They have launched some satellites and are going to launch some more, and they are in a line that can be seen at times in the evening sky. They are supposed to make it possible for more people to be able to have internet and maybe cell phones. Interesting isn't it. Your visit to my page was uplifting. Sara
