What Have We Done

Listen Listen intently Listen with your mind and ears Listen for the sound of nature Listen for the gay chirping of birds Listen for the gentle sound of wind Listen for the wolf howling in the distance Listen for the sweet singing of the trees clapping hands together Do you hear them No, you don't The truth shouts in silence We have nature's blood on our hands

We do indeed have Natures Blood on our hands today. Mankind's disrespect for Nature is evident all over. A well written quatrain Joshua. Welcome to the Soup....Maria
