Robert Lindley Poet Rhyme

Mankind Must Learn

Mankind Must Learn


Out were the rich earth reaches the growing vine
  Nature bears fruit to gift such sweet , red wine
Earth , water and soil wedded with man's work
  sweet results born from labors not shirked
Hot sun sends rays of shining beams of solar light
  giving many blessings and life that's very right
All Nature serves man's earthy wants and needs
  man must reply in kind by caring, saving deeds
Future life requires a caring , very smart plan
  otherwise earth lives on without the life of man

Universe exists in real and rich fantasy mists
  life must survive or love ceases to exist!
