Ever Evolving - Envirnonmental Free Verse
she leans in space
spins with grace
rotates, vibrates
regenerates
her only disgrace...
hosting the human race
call it abuse; our overuse
neglect with few regrets
past civilizations
cease to exist
do we believe
we're immune?
are we so arrogant
ignorant and blind
not to see reality?
generations give
generations take...
now we greedily consume
beyond what Earth
can tolerate
our convenient
extravagant lifestyles
exhaust the very one
who sustains us
remember...
it's not only about us
animals look on in disgust
should they be fortunate enough
to be alive
as our lush ecosystem
teeters off balance...
never the same
so, go ahead...
return your bottles and cans
recycle
process refuse
grow vegetables
hoard seeds
fall on your knees
weed global garden
be sure to look up
the stars are watching
toss your car and cell
tank up your fallout shelter
hide away...
think of self
that will help
vote or don't vote
gripe, grope and complain
become self sustained
innovation is a non-stop flight...
destination negation
good-bye vegetation
or...
have faith
in the human race
stop listening to
media manipulators
live each day
as best you can
Love
be free...
be thankful
for every sunrise...
live in the light
walk in the light
be a light
do right
for in our hearts
there's a will to live
the desire to give...
to respect
honor
save
our Earth
'heart'
holds the key
not just for survival
but for abundant
thriving life...
ever solving
and evolving
