The End

Is it too cold?
Or exactly right
Is it too deep?
Or right for my height
Is it too murky?
Or does it emit light
Is it too rough?
For man to fight

Is it too salty?
For one to taste
Is it too dirty?
Full of waste
Is it too rank?
Makes one insensate
Is it with effluent?
Not for the palate

Will the earth’s rape continue?
By man’s insatiable greed
Will desertification grow?
As the affected plead
Will the rich get richer?
With no taxation to impede
Will the world still be deaf?
To his brothers’ need

Why is no one bothered?
About our liquid resource
Why are we only involved?
In our own pet cause
Why are you only reading?
Not giving a thought
To the alarming rate
At which Earth is being lost

the end is only the beginning

I agree with Gloria, this is great. Simple and hits you where it counts.

For all it's worth...

Long live you and Al Gore!!

I'm with you. I use the green plastic shopping bags - how many points do I get for that?

Very good thoughts and words.

One should raise his voice

I feel strongly about the misuse of the earth and raise a voice in protest

Dolan

loud and clear

I'll raise my voice with you on this.I think I do this often on anything I feel strongly for or against.

Gloria
