Greenpeace, Friends Of The Earth 2024!

Of her gifts of nature, once pristine flowing streams, her green and blue majestic presence in the infinite universe vast reaches, My Jesus Christ left her in our care, we must act now, not later- for her survival. Her earthly soul mourns as her animals suffer, humans too, her royal oceans with precious marine life's waters sullied, her rainforests plundered. We must, as humanity, rectify our trespasses against her, for her survival. Her polar regions sweating, breaking off icebergs, many of her kingdom species endangered. Stop the greed and the smokestacks choking her air, halt the pillaging of her resources- for her survival.

A very noble poem honoring Mother Nature and our Earth, Regina. Your message is important to every living thing on our planet. We have greatly abused our gift of creation and we must try to correct what we can, or we may all die, sooner than expected. Have a great 2024, my friend! Bill

a powerful poem illuminating the pillaging of mother earth. We're fortunate to live on this plant, and it would behoove us all to treat her with a little more respect and kindness...have a great evening, Sar

Thank you kindly, Sara. It's so vitally important more people get involved in environmental justice for our good Mother Earth. She needs us. I belong to Greenpeace, a hands on active environmental leader. Happy New Year to you and Bill. ~

Until religious leaders speak out and politicians start to take this seriously instead of starting proxy wars over land, there is no hope for mother earth... its been burning since the start of time.. i think people will pay attention when it is too late.. an excellent poem Regina...

Hello, Silent One. Pope Francis, as far as I know, is the main religious leader speaking out on global warming that is such an urgent matter. It's imperative mankind gets off its bum and accelerate environmental healing- now! Mother Earth deserves love, not desecration. I belong to Greenpeace, as it's a hands on effective environmental organization. Thank you so much for caring.
