ECHO MAN MY NAME

I am a time traveler, I travel incognito, I am immortal, Have traveled worldwide, From the beginning of time, So this is no nursery rhyme! I see your planets devastation, My message, Hope, peace and unity. My home is a far away galaxy Far out in space, I am saddened looking down, At your wanton destruction Of the human race. In my galaxy, we live in harmony, There are no wars. This is is my last visit, So humans take serious note, My successor unknown, He or she could predict doom There is no longer room, To be complacent and passive. Beware of the likes of Elon Musk, Planet earth, gather your wits, For now, and from herein, More conspiracies and cyber tricks, Will abound. Wealth must be equally Distributed, an absolute must Power will become far more just, Perhaps an illusion, But a worthwhile Goal and solution. Let my words echo far and wide, From one side of the planet To the other side. Let all have equal access To health and medicine, No discrimination against Color, religion or social status, Step back a few paces, Look at your pollution, You need to adopt firm resolution, A beautiful, pristine planet earth. Is littered with refuse, Thrown from car windows You have become a dumping site, There is no escape, To where would you take flight. Neglecting your planet, Affects climate and brings About hazardous weather change, You have but little time left, You are destroying marine life, Temperatures so high, Seas are at boiling point, Is it not time therefore, for Humanity to address this issue, Stop being so greedy, strive For enough only, Then your life Globally, will change For the better, but please Understand, and hurry, for the first step. Begins with you. I pray my echo has been, Heard loud and clear, Start repairing your planet Today, but I mean today, And you will have nothing To fear. I now bid you farewell, Change is the key, I can see you are sad, But must also tell, For humanity one day to live well, Please persevere, So that history may retell.
