My Earth, our Earth

We must protect the natural resources.

 

My Earth, our Earth

 

What have we done to you?

Beautiful Earth.

We have destroyed the great forest, polluted the great seas and lakes

Took ancient  people from their home without real guilt.

Many of the free animals are extinct.

Kind Earth.

Please forgive the greed  of man.

He had no common sense.

We need the gift of fresh water and life giving trees.

I pray we learn. We must protect Earth.

She is our water and life of bread.

Author's Note

I hope we learn before it is too late. We need clean water, the great forest and the free animals.

I absolutely love this! We must protect Mother Earth. She is the giver of life, mother of all. I hope that all of mankind will soon become more caring about the Earth. We only have one home and we need to take care of it. Wonderful poem, I really liked it Coyote.

Thank you for reading and the comment. You are right. We need nature more than she needs us.

Perfectly pen'd this scenario, I fear it's already too late if we continue on this path. Look at the fine mess we're leaving in our wake. Beautiful song to accompany your poignant words.

I hope not. Nature can heal. Some of the Great Lakes are coming back. Take times and regulations. Thank you for reading and the comment.

PS There is no such thing as Global warming... Do your own research and see how it is used as a tool against us.So they can platform from that and do unspeakable harm to us all.

Isn't Global warming my friend. Last week Lake Erie was closed down last week. We can't swim in Lake St. Clair. Living in Detroit is like smoking a pack of cigarette a day. One animal is gone and extinct daily. It is pollution and waste. Some places in the USA are running out of water. We need to slow down. Be kind to Mother Nature. We must live in peace with each other and nature. I pray.

They say the Pacific is now Dead too. It's all a man made deal and few hold the cards. We the people need to speak loudly and let them know it is no longer acceptable.
Yes agreed... Keep writing it . Don't stop ....

Bus business and greed. Fast wealth at any cost had done the planet in. The water can heal. Lake Erie had strict laws. 40 years ago, factories were dropping chemical 24 hours a day. Now she is protected. Can't swim in her. Life is coming back to her.

John, What A Beautiful Heart wrench cry for our Earth said in Beautiful poetic form.
However there is something I am coming to really understand and that is that we all as collective man did not and does not harm our precious planet. To continue thinking so only makes it so and seems to give allowance.

The truth is that only a few minority are controlling the scenes and causing the destruction and so with that mind frame we can change it and do something about it.

We as in the rest of us, can awaken and make change and right here is a good platform to start with.
Helping each other wake up and do something about it and raise our voices and let it be known we the people do not comply.
As long as we think we have no power then we surrender our power. Just raising awareness can turn things around with the higher conscious and speaking.
The silence allows those who are doing the destruction a curtain to hide behind. Speaking with flush away the curtain and shine light on those responsible.

Thank You for speaking about Our Home, Our Planet and sounding the Alarm.

[Coyote Poetry]

We need to quit polluting our planet. Live in peace with her. I like the old saying. Mother Nature can be a hard lady upon us. If we don't appreciate her. Thank you for reading and the comment.

According to the science on global warming it's already too late. So who should we believe? Science or Rick Perry? Um, I'm going with science. I'll talk to Perry if I'm about to get indited for rigging elections. He knows about that.

[Coyote Poetry]

I believe in science. Where I live. The cities stopped at 10 mile road when I was a kid. Today we have population till 35 mile rd. The once great forest are farms are houses and factories. Less people and using 4 times the land. Maybe us human will become different? Learn to adapt to the new world? Thank you for reading and the comment. I do appreciate.
