Lifes Preservation

What has happened to lifes preservation, to its salvation, I said to my maker. Man has become a voracious taker without due thought, what devastation has has wrought./ Why, why has life become so cheap, so much so that the very heavens weep as does the earths spirit down to its very core's deep. Are we not meant to be compassionate caretakers and not implacable destroyers? The sun-kissed breezes say so, the birds on high swooping through the radiant sky and the animals below say so./ The streams, rivers, flowers and trees echo this sentiment with the bees. Custodians wise of the earth and of all life forms man should be not the bringer of premature death and endless calamity./
