the lullaby of tropical birds sketches 
the sounds of the early morning air

a spotlight of gilded rays
above purple clouds 
traces a blue filtered peak

trees unite warmly 
feed on the drizzle of rain
like a nectar gifted

native plants
spill in colors hurried 
fill the barren ground

mammals of every kind unified lay unseen
asleep and covered in blankets green

and i wonder

wonder who

who would nullify

this bouquet
of sweetly scented
awes

It's not right to desecrate God's creation often Needlessly Maurice, all is not always as it Seems having said that.' A lot of Pharmaceuticals are made from plants in General. So that may be a factor.? Also the Mining of lithium destructive extreme I Am informed.! It may be better to have a more Eclectic style of living rather than the human norm of mass use one method of getting things Done, why not recycle metal transport and use Grain or plant oil as fuel?
