Notes About The Poem

Greenpeace, Friends Of The Earth 2024!

For Her Survival

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.

Bill Baker December 28, 2023 at 4:59 PM 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 Regina Elliott December 31, 2023 at 8:39 AM Happy New Year greetings, Bill, to you and Sara. As an environmentalist, my resolve to help our victimized planet is even stronger. Thank you for caring, will be visiting your poetry page soon. Your friend Regina.

Silent One December 27, 2023 at 11:40 AM 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... Regina Elliott December 27, 2023 at 5:49 PM 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.
