The Mess We Have Made

Do you wonder what the Power above
Sees when He looks down on us below 
A planet once filled by nature’s hand
With clean air and water long ago.

And then man in his stupidity came
Pushed Mother Nature’s hand away
Upset the balance of ocean and air
Turmoil ‘n change were here to stay.

I would love to be a fly on the wall
And to hear just what He has to say
When He decides He’s had enough
Of careless man getting in her way.

I echo your sentiments. Personally, I see tears from heaven every time I view litter which seems to have become common, much less other environment issues. Woods destroyed for gratuitous retail also hurts me, soul deep. A good write, Betty ... CayCay
