Shared Thoughts

As I walk around observing life living
My mind envisions what it could be
Not to reflect on our surrounding
Not learning how to breathe and thank Thee.

As His Signs are here for all to see
Very often one prefers to ignore
Out of rejection, refusing to agree;
Grim reality … our fate still in store.

From the tinniest insect with all its hierarchy
To man whom out of greed and lack of spirituality
The earth in submission to God’s decree
Endures the abuse perpetrated on its generosity.

Somewhere along the line of generations
We, humans have lost touch … abandoned our wisdom
The wheel is spinning engulfing our vision
Replaced by artificial means … not worth an atom.
