Sharing the Message

Once this information had sunk in, I was fired up to share my new found knowledge with the world – or at least with the greater St. Andrews area! But how? Since I was a teenager I have dabbled at writing poetry, so I began churning out poems as a call to arms to others to realize the huge effect that humans are having on our one and only home! Here are a few examples:

A SONG OF PRAISE OR A SONG OF LAMENT
When did we lose our connection to the Planet?
Was it when electricity gave us the false sense that we were mightier than the tallest tree
The highest mountain or the swiftest river?
Was it when our religious leaders told us that plundering resources was part of God’s plan?
Was it when coal and oil freed us from the dependence on forests and fields?
The First Peoples tried to warn us-
The natural world is bounteous, but has a breaking point. 
Sever too many of those connections and the web will turn to dust.
Are we at that point now?
Broken links in the chain… 
Species gone, acid seas, polluted waters, high carbon concentrations, disappearing forests, erosion of soils and changing climate.
Where is the breaking point
And how will we know when we’ve reached it?
If the natural world breaks down, we go with it. 
If we thought we weren’t connected to the Planet
We’ll find out soon enough how wrong we were!
