Planet Earth

Planet Earth… I live upon a planet of rocks which poke out from the sea, two thirds of my world is under water but the third which isn’t I can see That’s because I can see the blue planet from out of space, but often wonder if I am really from this place It’s called planet earth and it lives and breathes, and apart from the oceans and rock, is made up of soil, sand, mountains and deserts, wilderness, plains and forests - it also gives us fire, snow and ice, and it used to once be very nice We call our planet the birth of humanity, but we risk destroying it because we don’t realise our own place and space and there is no equanimity We humans don’t want to share, and we don’t really care for each other or mother nature So after all is said and done we all live off our rocks poking out the sea, waiting to drown each other or whatever may be. DAMO

So true. We won’t likely survive but Mother Nature will breath a sigh of relief.

Thank you Richard for your comment and for looking.... I think you may be right.... Mother nature will probably breath a sigh of relief.. shame on us..!

I was thinking "what a great environmentalist," and then I got to the end and I laughed. So heartily too!
