Promise

This tiny globe of earth
so massive in our vision's
Drifts quietly though space
unconcerned by man's divisions

 

Our self-importance rules
causing problems with no solutions
Earth continues its journey
with gravity and revolutions

 

A universe without limits
where time is only a measure
Humans are more concerned
about someday finding treasure

 

Life given to all by evolution
may fail in appreciation
Being too busy to care
about creating a safer nation

 

Words of poetry are unheard
by deafness in the human mind
Language used by some
trying their best to be kind

 

If listening is chosen
as the better way to learn
Our hope for humanity
may become our concern

 

Those who live for the future
will lead us out of the dark
To enjoy the blessings of sunrise
and create the saving spark

 

Join with them if you can
they need all the help they can get
Our descendents will appreciate it
and that is one sure bet

[Coyote Poetry]

Your words are true. All of us must do better. Conserve water. Not pollute the land and air. Be kind to our brothers and sisters on this planet. Today we must look at this Earth like our body. Would we destroy our body and soul for the profit of oil and rich man/woman. A outstanding poem. You always make me think. I do appreciate.
