Greenpeace

In 1971, in British Columbia,
Greenpeace was founded for
our wounded Earth.
It's causes to fight are to rescue
our world from our own folly.
An international organization that
tirelessly gives global environmental
campaigns the might they need.

A stalwart people for Earth's nature,
setting sail to confront whaling,
and save our struggling planet,
from desecration.
So she can once more be a
breathing Earth of so much life,
an enduring testament of what
God gave us.

For oceans magnificent with the marine gifts 
we were given,
for woodlands of the wolves unencumbered,
for plains of prairie dogs,
mountains and lakes we love,
and skies of species of the birds and bats of
the air.

Earth's people, 
let your senses be filled,
God is calling out to us-
with His natural wonders we're thrilled,
Greenpeace leads us environmentalists,
to restore the planet as she once was. ~

That we truly need organizations like Greenpeace -- and poems like yours to remind us -- is a testimony to man's thoughtlessness, his boorishness, his arrogant refusal to respect the environment. Man takes it for granted that the planet is 'his.' G-d knows better.

Yes, it's all hands on deck now for our planet, good friend. There are tiny bits of plastic getting into both people and animal bodies. Marine life has died from ingesting plastic. Time to act now is so crucial. Good evening to you, Gershon. ~

God has always tried to help humanity, but man always shunned God and destroyed the earth. Good for Greenpeace to do something about it.
