WHY SHOULD YOU CARE

WHY SHOULD YOU CARE

" We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children" (Ancient Indian Proverb)

Sea of ice, solid covered ice cap
glaciers melting at faster rate
sea level rising
no man's land, frozen wilderness
the world disappears from goggle map.

Cold compromise 
territorial claims
pristine rain forest disturbed
furious lava, sound dumbfounded
lots of obstruction we face
the pangs of death
to everyone the same.

Money,unit of measure
precious treasure
without price tag
to oppressor
seems to have no
value anymore.

The sovereign attracts you
corruption distracts you
does it really matter?
how the thoughtful
and tranquil earth disappears
we all die eventually: now, how, when.

YOU WALK UP THE STAIRS
WITHOUT LOOKING DOWN
IF THERE IS MORE TO FOLLOW
WHY SHOULD YOU CARE!!!

Thank you so much Tony for describing me a " fine writer " ###I am beginning to understand what a " fine writing " really is! '!

But I consider all your writing " sublime ", fullest poetry!! 

It was my intention to highlight the third stanza :

" Money,  unit of measure 

precious treasure 

without price tag 

to oppressor 

seems to have 

no value anymore "

In very small letters to highlight its content. but my mobile does not have the device for it.  I am using my mobile instead of laptop.  Its handy!  I hope you get the message
