In the cool dawn of the rain forest I walk by the sea along a sinewy trail winding through cedar and arbutus; the morning sun comes up over the horizon’s curvature; waves clap their delight in rocky crevices deep below as gulls cry upon the wind. My mind wanders and I think: will the people of Earth ever learn the real nature of what they call “money”? Will they come to understand before it destroys them and their so pretty planet? As if the very stones spoke I hear this thought in my head: “As long as there is a system that creates poor and rich there will always be a currency, some kind of measure, by which levels of injustice may be factored with profitability. Such is always a necessity in any unjust society.” |

grand-fine imagery: "In the cool dawn of the rain forest I walk by the sea along a sinewy trail winding through cedar and arbutus; the morning sun comes up over the horizon’s curvature; waves clap their delight in rocky crevices deep below as gulls cry upon the wind." ... and, a 'spot on' socio-political message! much applause for this important 'penning'!! |

"In the cool dawn of the rain forest I walk by the sea along a sinewy trail winding through cedar and arbutus;" ~ There is so much at stake... We must all join forces and keep Mother Earth happy, healthy ~ and enduring! We must heed her warnings! Your poetry ALWAYS touches me.  EA |

I have a feeling Mother Earth can take care of herself better than we known and has done so in the past, but of course, I feel that we need to be more responsible and appreciate what we have here before it's too late. Ida |

A very important write. But you have to remember that Mother Earth has withstood fire, comets, ice, poisonous atmospheres, floods, solar flares, plasma and ion storms, drought, volcanoes and earthquakes. In his greed the only thing mankind will succeed in destroying is himself. A chorus of agony from heaven and rain poured in a colossus of angel's tears. |
