Ben [time] => 2010-02-26 15:27:37 [hometext] => Self explanitory, then what's to explain, 'tis said an animal never where it eats, but then we're all half animal aren't we? that is if you believe that, as for the other half? these days, i'd believe anything . . . [bodytext] =>

My

dear

inhabitants

of

earth

where do i begin?

is nothing sacred

anymore?

my paitence you wear

thin.

The

tree of life

i gave to you

sweet oxygen

to

breathe,

then you cut

and burn me down

now i can't even

bleed.

I

give to you the sun each day

so then what do you do?

but poision every golden ray

that warms the morning

dew.

My sky you fill with toxic waist

as flowers die in bloom,

no sooner are they planted

can they wait to meet there

doom.

My

dear

inhabitants

of

earth

oh

where have i gone wrong?

when even robins in the spring

no longer want

a

song

to

sing.

My

dear

inhabitants

of

earth

please try and understand,

that while you take away

my

worth

i'll take away your

land.

The

rage and fury i posess

could rape you of your breath,

leaving you a sinful mess

while wishing for your

death.

My

dear inhabitants

of earth

no harm i wish for thee,

except to say while your alive

please show respect for

me.

And

all creatures

big and small

we must also

love,

for are we not

but just like them?

to greater stars

above.

So true my friend.
Good work.
I can see I'm way behind on my reading and commenting.
I feel like I'm home now with a write from you.
Huggs, blessings.
Say hi to the wife for me.
