Eruption

I don’t wish to be doom and gloom But I can’t help but think soon This whole earth is about to erupt In response to our destructive ways And we can talk about heading off to space But there is no planet B you see There is no point in spreading like a disease We need to learn to change our ways Learn how to nurture and appreciate Focus on how to navigate the natural disasters Spend money on this instead of wars Learn to unite to work to solve the problems as one race together Combining minds and ideas Never having to live in constant fear We can evolve and take our place as a more peaceful race That understands priorities and puts them in first place Instead of letting government and corporate greed Dominate humanities needs And understand the balance needed for our ecology Or we can all just sit back watching Believing it’s inevitable that our earth is surely going to erupt And simply explode and then implodes And leaves us in a state of extinction.

I like your message, … The astral traveler in me wants to do both: Clean up the mess here AND see what's out there too. Best wishes, Faux, Gershon

Of the same ilk me and you. Why can't folk understand our point of view? For sure, unless we all get together, the future isn't looking clever. The thing about plastic, even if it was stopped being produced right this very second, the damage is done, there is no reconciliation! We perhaps can clear up all the larger stuff but microplastic, dust, the end of the line, were bust!

I agree with what you have written Faux. Certain countries are way ahead of the USA. They gave stopped using plastic bags and bottles. They encourage the use of cloth bags to carry groceries and sell them for a very modest cost. Plastic is ruining our ocean life and must be stopped. We don't have a never ending supply of how much plastic our earth can take to be viable. Bravo to you for this wondeful poem that brings attention to our delima. Excellent! : )
