Nine-Pint Ramblings

Some people think I’m anti human Some believe I really would Free this world of the species If I easily could. We are not the only animals But for what it’s worth We are the only ones Destroying mother earth. Seven days of creation Just to give birth To the scourge Of this earth? I don’t mean to offend But will if needs must To try and convince others We hold this planet in trust; Not just for future generations Of our human race, But for all the other animals With whom we share this place. I suppose it’s just another lost cause When some see others in need Of basic food and water Just to satisfy their own greed. The only mitigating factor, Which rather baffles the mind, No matter how we treat the animals We inflict worse on our own kind. So, praise the lord and pass the bottle. Praise the lord that I am free Praise the lord for pre -cast concrete And let heaven help the trees. And praise the lord for good strong drink For when it hurts too much to think.

Somehow missed this one Terry, and now you have taken leave you probably wont read this but l loved it just the same, cause that we enjoy from dear old Mother Earth, was a gift given once for all eternity. Hope you are enjoying your respite from Soup.
