The Sacred Earth

It saddens me to see 
That this precious earth of ours
No longer seems to be
Taken care of: all these years
So many care not what they do
So many are to this earth untrue
They litter the lands & seas
They kill off all our bees
Rubbish from our gutters run
Under moon & under sun
Into our Rivers lakes & seas
Polluting all our plants & trees
Oh Lord what a mess we've made
When we disregard: to our shame
Our flora & fauna: lost & then
Mining scars our beautiful lands
Seekers of golden ores & precious stones
Take our wilderness: so harshly used
What are we who care supposed to do?
To make all others look above to you?

"Every part of this earth is sacred to my people
...we are part of the earth & it is part of us."
Chief Seattle's Testament USA
