Earth Day 2022

Earth Day takes another pounding
As Russia resumes confounding
Chernobyl still kills
What gives us the chills:
Lack of concern is astounding!

A serious limerick giving us much food for thought ! Our callous attitude to Mother Earth is suicidal !

Yes, it is astounding, especially since Earth has given us so many clues. Right now, the whole state of NM is on fire, so dry. Thanks for writing about Earth Day. Aloha!

So many watch on numb and helpless, while the killing goes on, its a far cry from the days of old, still those old rusty weapons, shoot venom, when will it end !

Great write,Rico.I would love to see more people be concerned about it. Too many innocent people are getting hurt and killed because of one maniac.

Clearly establishing one person can make a difference, especially when that one person has no intention of leaving this world better than he found it! Aloha!

Honolulu's Water Board says only 1.7% of the water on this planet is potable, yet it had to close 3 Wells due to US Navy Red Hill Fuel Tank pollution. The DOD says they will drain the fuel tanks but refuses to set a date to do so. Meanwhile, USN continue to pollute millions of gallons of potable water! Aloha!
