The glorious Creat-i-on
Revels in beauty
Harmony is its song
Listen, smell, feel....
Stop
Your excess-ive rush[ing] [and consuming of goods and experiences]
To no-where
Fast
Harmony:
Nature does not need humans
"Civilized" humans are a pariah
Greed, material-ism, luxurious "living"
Christians, Jews, Muslims, Agnostics, Atheists
All should be ashamed
For justifying their self-absorption
And abusing our fellow humans and non-humans
Stealing the land
Air
Water
Anything and everything
As if they own all
It is MY land
You are but aliens
And my tenants*
All you talk about
Is your right
To en-joy life
To fly to 50 countries
Let's talk about respons-ibility
It's time to BE [silent]
To observe
To listen and hear:
Let the rivers clap their hands,
Let the mountains sing together for joy;
Let them sing before the LORD,
For he comes to judge the earth.
He will judge the world in righteousness
And the peoples with equity.
Psalm 98 [NIV]
*from the Jewish scriptures: Leviticus 25 NIV
