What Tomorrow Will Be Like < !signature-->By: Amy M. Kennedy Earth…what will it be like come tomorrow? I predict a world that will be filled with pain and sorrow No more snow-capped mountains or oceans of blue So many people wandering aimlessly around, haven’t got a clue Tomorrow will be gray and without a ray of hope And all humans will surely die, unable to cope All creatures will suffocate, trees that are cut down Without oxygen, things loose their green and become ugly and brown But I doubt people really care They’re in their own little world Doesn’t matter that atmosphere has a hole in it That the world is slowly being burned The Earth is slowly coming to an end Choked filled air, replacing what use to be gentle wind The seas, bodies of water no longer clear This and more is my worst fear The time is now for us to wake up before it’s too late We can prevent all this, change our fate But it will take us all, each and every single one of us And shouldn’t we? After all God gives us unconditional love I say the time is now, before there is no more time So let’s worry more about mother Earth And a little less time about making a dime Maybe if we try, we can give this world…a new birth! ~Live today as though it were your last but prepare for tomorrow as though it were here~ [This message has been edited by Aimster (edited 04-15-2000).] |

I knew this would be a piece of cake for you. words of wisdom!! love ya, jm Well the sun sets gently on your shoulders And it makes me want to touch you there. And the light in your eyes makes me feel Like there's something much better out there Something kind... And I know someday I might be looking around Trying to find some purpose Well purpose it can't be that hard to find As long as I've got the wind... The wind and your love to carry me. vertical horizon |

Very powerful and well done..brings some serious thoughts to mind. Exellent work! *Krista Knutson* As soon as man does not take his existence for granted, but beholds it as something unfathomably mysterious, thought begins. ~*Albert Schweitzer*~ |

Amy, this is a wonderful addition to our challenge cause for Earth Day. We all seem to painting a very bleak future, I think I'm getting depressed from all this. But I guess we have to say it, nobody else seems to be. Challenge met. Thank you sincerely for posting. Parker |

Hey guys- Thank you all for the comments. A little birdie told me that I would be good at posting for something like this. I guess they were right, maybe. Anyway Parker it was my pleasure and honor to post something regarding Earth Day. I am a huge nature person myself, so the Earth is something very near and dear to my heart! I don't think our future HAS to be bleak and hopeless. But if we want to correct the problems of yesterday, then TODAY we have to start so that we can secure a happy, safe, and environmentally healthy atmoshpere for our children and their children and so on. Or else, it's sad to say...but Earth as we know it, will no longer exist and neither will we. Thanks again everyone! ~Amy~ ~Live today as though it were your last but prepare for tomorrow as though it were here~ |

HAPPY EARTH DAY AMY-GIRL! BTTT! Well the sun sets gently on your shoulders And it makes me want to touch you there. And the light in your eyes makes me feel Like there's something much better out there Something kind... And I know someday I might be looking around Trying to find some purpose Well purpose it can't be that hard to find As long as I've got the wind... The wind and your love to carry me. vertical horizon |
