New Stuff of Earth

Poisonous air streams down As plastic-laden waters choke Fishes and Universal Motion's glow ... So much has changed through time, I wail against slow death of UV skin, while plundered Mother Earth rakes in her once fertile womb... yet indifferent hearts care not, incensed by greed and unrecyled junk. O children listen; build a new earth, Let your palms turn soil into a fertile bed; And allow the forest to stand tall, uncut By gifting them with a cleaner environ; That each gracious deed will find blessings Copious from heavenly skies. Until each hour breathes through A fragrance of one taintless expanse, blue. This wide universe is our home, Our manna of fields for every mouth, And pure rain cooling quiet nightfall With daylight's pattern soothing din; To hail nature, may it never come to an end As Spirit's Love refills our dreams! Thomas Martin's STUFF 6/19/2015

Hello Nette, Congrats on your win!! Your poem here says it all. Mother Nature is not happy with mankind. And our situation on home Earth is not really improving. A "7" + FAV!! Please check out, when you have time, a poem I wrote and posted with PS. It's called: "Mother Nature Cries," and another is "A World on Fire." Both of these poems appear as well in my recent book: "Conversations with My Muse." Mankind is in for a big surprise in the future, if we don't change our ways!! Best!! Gary

We are the product of our times. Stuff is a side effect of progress and it has the potential to kill us all, through our own success. Well written. Emile.

Between falling comets and volcanos there is nothing we could ever do to hurt the earth. destroy ourselves..yes..but hurt the earth..the earth will be here long after the human race has disappeared..we have destroyed its beauty but what we do is like a scab over a wound to the earth..it will heal itself..after we are gone.

You draw a stark picture of a horrific world, but offer grace and hope in the end, all with great imagery and flow!

Keith, it took a little longer for Orwell's "1984" and "Animal Farm" to become a sad reality. Nostradamus may be on the long end of that prediction.
