Array ( [sid] => 107606 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Biohazard [time] => 2005-10-12 18:45:09 [hometext] => [bodytext] => Where once lay green luscious fields
is now barren rock and clay.
Victim to the mines high yield,
the wildlife has gone away.

Beaver dams have now gone dry
or poisons have killed them off;
blindly we march on ahead
as to the future many scoff.

The air was pure and clean and good,
the ozone layer intact.
Now it’s changing every day,
that’s a scientific fact.

We are stewards of God’s Earth,
He created it for us;
How lightly do we heed the call
of His everlasting trust?

When all is said and all is done
you may not give my opinion worth;
if it takes a village to raise one child,
it will take mankind to save this Earth.

I agree with every word you say, our world needs good house keeping.

We need to treat the earth with respect, for without it, we would all be dead.

Well this whole write is blunt and to the point, as it should be, but those last two lines...!! Packed a serious punch.
Excellent job expressing something too few of us give a damn about any more. Well done.

John an excellent poem stating the truth of what's happening to Earth these days. We have surely neglected what God has given us. May mankind wake up and do their share to protect our Earth. Another brilliant write from you. Keep up the great work John.
