Welcome to my world as I see it. I have been reading post’s for some time now and have participated for several years in social new sites. But now, after seeing so much hate, name calling and such trashing of people, I wish I had remained “Computer challenged”.
I don’t think the world is going in the right direction and I see that people don’t care about what is happening to the planet. I see my lifes work being destroyed, tore apart and bull dozed over. I keep wondering where are they all going to now? Where is there any safe habitat left for them to live safely. The human race has become a plague upon the earth but what do you expect from the only species that fouls it’s own nest.
The greatest mind of our time, Stephen Hawkings says “I don’t think the human race will survive the next hundred years” is a very possible statement. I don’t think humans will last either, IMHO. Sadly they will take most of us out with them. Wonder what is going to be left of this planet in a 100 years? My grandparents told me of a time when there were vast wilderness for them to spread their wings to hunt and explore. I do remember from my roaming days of being a "Free Spirit" that there was a lot of space and fair game. Now it's hard just to find an area for a decent nest.
Dear Lord,
You know I patrol the skies over the home of the brave, this land of the free.
These days there's a cause for me to pause as I see the death of liberty's tree.
Her seeds were sowed over 220 years ago as you well know since your hands were there.
As a young tree she grew strong, strong enough for me to nest as the people gave her care.
People enjoyed relaxing in her shade and even in the depth of winter comfort could be found.
Today her limbs are beginning to droop while her roots are seemingly becoming bound.
There once was many who took the time for watering, pruning, and caring as she grew.
However even though there are more people living near her it seems far fewer ever do.
When landing there to nest these days the branches barely hold my weight.
Dear lord is there anything this eagle can do before it becomes too late?
If you can simply give me a voice I'll tell everyone across the land our tree is sick.
If you can help me grow some hands I'll water, prune, and care for her but please do this quick.
You see the next great storm is coming when the winds will surely whirl and blow.
The way our tree is feeling right now it may be more than she can stand, you know?
Please don't let her die dear Lord, don't let her people lose her shade.
When that happens we both know the sun will burn too hot while my people all will fade...
Don't know where that came from but I really like it!!
