" Oh, you thoughtless and egotistic creatures that call yourselves humans. You, that are daily complaining of the floods that inundate, your lands, your cities, your streets, and your homes. Have you not yet understood that all this water is nothing else but my tears caused by the pain inflicted by your blasphemous and barbaric ways upon my, once fertile and pristine face? " Thus spoke mother earth and then released her tears! © Demetrios Trifiatis 03 February 2022

Your message, dear friend Demetrios, is heard all around the globe. Your photograph serves as a public showcase of humanity's ignominy. This is a fantastic piece of writing!

We have to work hard to save what took us millions of years to build. Unfortunately, very few of us care and this fact, I am afraid will bring our downfall. Thank you for caring, my dear friend, Lasaad. Blessings!

There is a consequence for sinning and mankind has pushed his limits resulting in Gods wrath. Great point Demetrios. If they could only realize they are causing destruction by their selfish, sinning nature. Great point and illustration to give the reader a visual realization of the result of sin. Throughout the bible when the Israelites sinned against God in the Exodus there was retribution from our Lord every time they worshiped false Idols, and they were punished for fourty more years...

Michael, my good friend, we need more people like you, and like all others who have commented here, to pass the message. If we do not wake up, our civilization will be over before the end of the century. God bless us! Thank you!

Mankind is beginning to pay dearly for his selfishness, profit and greed is destroying our home and mother nature is fighting back. Powerful verse Demetrios, mankind needs to heed the warnings now. Tom

Unfortunately, my friend, Tom, humanity seems not to understand that we have run out of time. We have started paying for our crimes against the environment. I doubt that we could do much to save mankind! Thank you!
