Mother Earth

And now a massive hole in the ozone layer Global warming, not really mentioned before Like all the wild life and all of the agriculture Fossil fuels were burning, destroying the core Rain forests now fast becoming waste lands Polluting the atmosphere with our toxic waste And to think all of this done at our own hands Before long there won't be any human race Change's in the weather, changes in altitudes And this only contributes to famine and disease If we're so clever why not change our attitudes? Perhaps were blind to it all, no one then see's That the situation is only going to perpetuate We are warned by mother earth, mother nature We will one day pay for the damage we create Is it worth doing something now? rather than later note ................ AGAIN A BIT MORE OF A POLITICAL AND UNIVERSAL ISSUE A BIT LIKE THAT OF WORLDS STATE, A JILTED BENERATION , AND ELEMENTS OF LIFE ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// this I did mention brefliy in the original version of worlds state but something wanted to write about seperlety similer to worlds state in the fact a never of many issues that needs adressing though I do think the goverment has the power to do a lot if they wanted to instead of dictaing these so called public school boys why was this issue not adressd years ago in the fiftys sixes so on the war cant be helping to the atmosphere NOTE TO READERS OK LIKE OTHERS THIS WAS ON HERE BEFORE FELT A BIT TOO LONG DRAWN WANTED TO UPDATE PUT INTO BETTER CONTEXT INSPERATION FROM RECENT NEWS AND WHATS HAPPING AT MOMENT BUT WE HAVE HAD PLENTY OF WARNING I dont kn ow to much on this subject so lously put togeather .....................................

Hi David: Sorry to hear you have been in hospital....sending good wishes and saying thanks for advocating for Mother Nature. So many people in Groups that advocate for Mother Nature seem to be caught up in political games. It is to be hoped more can be done to stop the tide of destruction. Try to. Rest and heal. SuZ

Wonderful poem David, so sad that humanity has ignored such vital issues until they slaps us in the face, perhaps we have been too clever for our own good. love Elizabeth
