Mother Nature's Crying

Mother Nature's Crying

Into a fine distraction
Tell us, alas, that cannot tell our grief
Had not your beautiful structure
Been threatened and left us on our knees
Many a tear does flow confusedly
Tell us dear Mother Nature
For we must mend your loving disorder
We must support the Natural Oracle
Producing the miracle that begs you ascend
We will not sit by and mourn at oxygen's tomb
It's written within our symbiotic relationship
That with a loving cup neglectful
The balance of our lives inherently depend
--------------------------------------------------------
Mistakenly,ย we've rewritten the natural course
Our forests are dying, our children are crying
And what our caring hearts must now intend
Is sweetening your most fundamental beauty
By our own hands provide a second birth
And thus enriched in mind and spirit
May we not yield some sacred cause
Shed our own stupidity
Witness your holy resurrection
Recall the ancient evidence
Of humanity and Mother Nature's
Perfectly balanced cycle
Of dependent inner loveliness
And God-given
Wistful
Worth...

Interesting, Tony, a true paean (if optimistic) to protecting and resurrecting our planet. I hope you're right!ย  In any case, very well-written.

Thanx JOHNB!!....yeah!!...I get that a LOT!!..... optimism is just something innate..... and I think it has much to do with my faith in humanity's search for that which created the heart of 'The All'!!.....I believe in the goodness of my fellow man!!..... but I don't mean in 'the immediate'.....I mean that ultimately we save our planet, explore the galaxy and beyond..... instead of just 'flat out' destroying ourselves!!..... hope that made sense.....thanx again dear poet brother!!...... Glide On Love!!.....T xo ???โ™ฅ

My Dear Tony,

Oh dear Mother Nature
There are those who hear your pleas
We fight for your Resurrection
Save the Oceans and the Trees

.
But others listen with deaf ears
Their greed overrides their brains
They'll continue in their carnage
Till almost nothing of you remains

.
We need find a way to stop them
Impeach their power instantly
Then Mankind can kowtow to you
And do then what must there be

Love you Bro,
Larry xxx
