Rumor Has It Ii

Rumor has it on heavens above
Among the angels’ divine sphere
That God after very much thought  
Decided in man’s life to interfere     

For He has observed Man’s mistakes 
Which lately too many came to be
To endanger the whole of creation 
Act with which God can never agree

So the Lord has most recently chosen  
The book of life before long to reprint 
Revising certain of its very old chapters 
While others out will leave, He has hint  

The concern of humans is now to know      
Which chapters the book will not contain, 
Which are going to be, somehow, revised 
And which intact will forever remain 

What was heard through the vine though,   
It was Man’s huge and unbearable vanity 
That made our almighty Lord and creator 
To eliminate the chapter on humanity  

The reason that our God in His infinitive wisdom
Reached such unexpected for Mankind conclusion 
Is the fact that Man during his reign on earth
Has hurt our planet with his insensitive intrusion

It might still be time for Man overall to be saved    
If he started correcting his many mistakes soon
Beginning by respecting life and the whole planet  
And stop behaving as a dim-witted buffoon.

* Lately mankind is witnessing extreme natural phenomena around the world.
I though, after revising it, to repost this poem of mine so to remind ourselves 
of the upcoming dangers.

** According to UN’s report “We  are in an era where climate change isn’t some kind of future hypothetical,” said Chris Field, one of the  two main authors of the report, and Rajendra Pachari chair of the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) added: “Nobody on this planet is going to be untouched by climate change.” For that UN suggested measures to be taken immediately for to save the planet.
 Moreover, the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences ( PNAS), 
announced that  " Researchers have found out that pollutants are strengthening storms ...plus endanger the health of people."

***It is up to us to act in order to protect our planet, ourselves and our children!

Yes, they are scary times, my friend, Richard and as time passes by they will get even scarier if we do nothing about it. I am afraid though that even we do something it is too little, too late! Only when we suffer a major natural catastrophe we might wake up from this apathy slumber! Thank you my friend for your visit and for caring!
