Do we really understand the fragility of Life?
Have we ever thought of consequence and all the Strife?
So we can run around in cars and have our pretty things
Have you ever thought of all the pain we Human’s bring?
Have you ever considered just how you’d feel if orphaned you were left
As your mother became a trophy with her skin stripped from her chest?
Did you never spare a thought for the Ocean and her depths?
A dumping ground for all our waste no longer we respect,
And have you thought how hard it is to find enough to eat
When driven from your home
Have you ever wondered how far that you would roam?
And did you never think as the Ice melts in your drink
Of the Polar Bears home that in the Ocean sinks..
It’s time to understand that we cannot turn away
For we are each responsible for the world we live today
We humans have tipped the scales as we destroy with tools of greed
It’s time to re-awake and replant a caring seed.

Today generation don’t see the damage being done. Government create lies and the people believe. Each day one plant or creature is gone forever. I pray for common sense. One planet and one people. We must protect nature and her creatures. Photos broke my heart.

Many thanks John for commenting, Yes so much still to do, and yet I see so many like minded people now coming together and supporting change… We each need to be more aware of our living habits… For Mother Nature will soon show us what its like to be on the receiving end very shortly if we no not change our ways.
Feb 20, 2013 @ 20:41:30
This is a fantastic blog. It is very impressive and really hits the nail on its head.Thanks, Barbara
Feb 20, 2013 @ 20:43:30
Many thanks Barbara, thank you, I wrote half of this some time ago and finished it this evening with the photos…

Nice poem. I liked the image of bears in what appears to be an urban setting.
Feb 20, 2013 @ 20:46:31
Thank you Alex, Many Bears are now invading local towns as their natural habitats are being developed.
Feb 20, 2013 @ 20:55:24
That can’t be good for either bears or people.

Take a look at this BBC Documentary, It was brilliant when it was aired last year

Feb 20, 2013 @ 21:01:10
Awesome. It looks only clips are available now to view.
Feb 20, 2013 @ 21:07:25
Shame you may find more on YouTube
Feb 20, 2013 @ 21:07:55
I will take a look.
Feb 20, 2013 @ 21:57:30
I do think about it, like you. I live in a suburban/farming community where part of the people are very concerned about the growing human population on the earth and wildlife and the other ignore it completely.
Feb 21, 2013 @ 17:44:04
Yes LSF I feel many are now becoming more aware especially those who live closer to nature.. And gradually those in cities are also seeing and viewing the world outside their own particular narrow view boxes in which they have lived so long!
Feb 20, 2013 @ 22:57:19
Really nice poem, Sue. Hopefully we’ll learn one day…
Feb 21, 2013 @ 17:45:37
I do hope so Tom, We need to educate our children, or in my case our Grandchildren for they are going to be the ones who pick up the pieces of the broken world we are leaving them.
Feb 20, 2013 @ 23:20:02
We really are causing quite a bit of harm to our planet, and it’s not even confined to the planet any more. We have more “junk” floating around in space than you’d believe, including nuclear reactors and bags of garbage released from space stations.
Sometimes I find human beings to be one of the most magical creatures, but at the same time, as intelligent as we are, we can be rather stupid and irresponsible.
Feb 21, 2013 @ 18:51:06
Yes you are so right my friend, we pollute nearly everything we touch… and we need to shake our ideas up as to how we live in harmony with nature before we get shaken up in return… Thank you gerowen for taking the time to visit, its nice to see you here.
Feb 20, 2013 @ 23:57:05
Sue, nothing to add that hasn’t been said by others above. If there’s any comfort to be found it is that more and more people every day are beginning to understand where we are, and where we could be heading.
Feb 21, 2013 @ 17:49:20
Yes I agree Paul, many are now so much more aware, and let us hope it can alter our way of being…Thank you for stopping by
Feb 21, 2013 @ 02:01:45
Hi, sorry for the absence. A remarkable resonance of drumbeats! I was also shocked recently at the wound of a tree on the street which was cut a branch of it. As long as we live we would hurt the nature, but we should not cover the ear from it crying.
Feb 21, 2013 @ 18:56:06
Bibuji, thank you for dropping by, I read in your post how busy you have been. What a beautiful way of saying… “We should not the ear from its crying” no we should not.. Thank you… wishing you a wonderful weekend Sue
Feb 21, 2013 @ 02:44:51
These are terrible visions of our today and our future if we don’t stop now. Do you wonder, what will force us to stop? I wonder.
Feb 21, 2013 @ 17:57:09
In a word Val…. Nature will force us to stop…. because if we do not change then nature will teach us some harsh lessons as we will be so busy trying to survive we will not be buying and selling… But we will be trying to live with the elements .. We are seeing now those weather changes all over the world.. We are seeing too how many fish, dolphins, birds, and other species are taking Mass exodus from this planet….
We are not immune… and we cannot keep cutting down rain forests, polluting our oceans, over fishing, adding chemicals to the air and ground, meddling with Seeds in Genetic Engineering so that seeds need chemicals to germinate ..
The Bees are already in decline.. if the bees go, our pollination of the food chain ends..
While I try so hard to remain positive in my posts.. I do so worry for our next generations at what a world we are leaving them to!
Feb 21, 2013 @ 03:08:39
What an alive scolding! I love the poem despite the admonishment’s darkness. We do need to own our actions and make some (massive) adjustments.
Blessings to you, Sue <3 xxx
Feb 21, 2013 @ 18:01:34
Yes Red, I try to remain positive as I aim for positive posts to uplift.. But these issues can not be swept under the carpet they are not someone else’s problems they are ours..
We are all of us contributing to our environment, Each day we buy goods just how much packaging do we throw away? Are we recycling enough? do we use environmental friendly products?
I am as guilty as the next person.. because its how we are in our modern day world, But I am seeing and trying to improve my habits, and if everyone thought just a little along those lines we each send a signal out to the world..
Many thanks Red.. Love and Hugs back x
Feb 21, 2013 @ 03:18:32
My thoughts are with you and connect directly to every word you have written here my friend, thank you for sharing these very important and critical messages with us. I will reblog this in the hope that we can together bring more awareness to the plight of Mother Earth and all the beings residing on and in her
Namaste with Love
Mark
Feb 21, 2013 @ 03:20:54
Oh Sue, before I do, I need to check with you first…Is it ok to reblog this post? If so then I’m happy to support and spread the word
Namaste
Mark
Feb 21, 2013 @ 08:49:58
Hi Mark thank you for commenting and checking with me YES you have my permission to Re-blog. Awareness is important. And the message we need to keep spreading about how with our unthinking actions we destroy habitats and our environment. Many thanks
Sue
Feb 21, 2013 @ 10:01:49
Namaste my friend
Feb 21, 2013 @ 08:56:58
Important to remember all the good in humanity too though and all that people are doing to counteract the negative effects…lest we lose hope in ourselves and give up trying…
Wolfie hugs xx
Feb 21, 2013 @ 18:31:00
You are so right here Wolfie, and I try to remain positive in the face of the evidence.. And more and more are now coming together to bring about positive changes for our Earth… We will never give up! Big Hugs back x
Feb 21, 2013 @ 09:19:05
I agree totally!!!
The whole world is going to hell because of greed and mismanagement of resources while we breed like there will always be enough room for us.
Our world is a total mess and it’s all our fault…
Love and hugs!
Prenin.
Feb 21, 2013 @ 18:32:45
Yes we certainly have a big mess in which we need to pull together to clear up. Thank you Prenin
Feb 21, 2013 @ 09:45:21

Unfortunately I think about it all the time and it drives me crazy. I struggle daily to fight the depression all of the destruction in the world is causing. It is overwhelming and very frustrating. I try to do my part and pray for the rest of humanity that they will awaken soon and do their part as well. These are very hard times to live in! Thanks for the reminder DW. We must NEVER forget!!! VK xxx
Feb 21, 2013 @ 18:44:16
I Know and understand exactly how you feel VK… For a time my heart broke … But I have come to understand even the transition of our animal kingdom is all part of the process of change as we are all of us interwoven with each other…..
We still have much to learn and a long way yet to go.. But at least my good friend we know that there are many more people now-a-days who are becoming aware of the plight of our planet and how we have abused and are destroying our very own habitat.
We have to care and be detached at the same time, knowing that we are already within the plan of the Universe… But detachment is easier said than done…
Sending you Blessings DW

I was in school whenI first read the lines..”The world is too much with us…getting and spending , we lay waste its powers. Little do we see in Nature that is ours!. I” I have been a pagan at heart since then. I guess you’re one too:-)
Feb 22, 2013 @ 14:48:39
I guess I am a pagan at heart dear Nadira , So lovely to see you back around WP again my wise friend
Feb 23, 2013 @ 13:09:05
Many feel the same. Many want change. Many have tried to turn the back the tide. Our voices are small but our numbers growing. In this there is hope. Many blessings Dreamwalker for adding a strong voice.
Feb 23, 2013 @ 13:18:10
Our Numbers are growing Eddie, and as we add them the Mass Consciousness also grows.. and the Tides I pray will one day turn..
Feb 23, 2013 @ 13:52:57
We that were given dominion. What does that mean? HE that created all things gave us that were created in His image and likeness a charge as well. What was it?
Feb 23, 2013 @ 14:13:54
http://www.openbible.info/topics/dominion
For me Sam we are all here upon this Earth, we are supposed to be the most intelligent of the species. This Image of God depends upon how you perceive God For a long while I perceived God as portrayed as a child of a wise old bearded man sitting high up in heaven upon his throne..
My Perception alerted as my knowledge expanded.. To see we are all upon a journey of expansion, Learning, and if we look to our Animal kingdoms we see they do not Kill for the sake of killing, the only kill to survive.. We however to say we are ‘intelligent’ Kill for pleasure and for gain.. and care not for the land we also are killing as we plunder it for gain…
We are I feel were created in this image to explore this beautiful realm called Earth which how ever it came into being to me is a Living Library whereby we are equal. We all have our various parts to play in the evolution of our planet and ourselves spiritual progression.. We are stewards, custodians of this planet, this is what I think was meant by the statement
And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”
Feb 23, 2013 @ 16:45:44
A terrible indictment portrayed in a beautiful way with heartfelt words echoed here by others. Breaks my heart too Sue. What worries my is that we have sent out too many messages that we do not care and if the Universe responds in kind are we too late? Love David.
Feb 23, 2013 @ 16:56:10
I have to believe its never too late to change David.. Our ways need to alter, the dye is cast, and we are reaping what has been sown,.. We will have to reap that and learn from our experience.. But the more and more who come to an understanding that we are each responsible and its not someone else’s problem its ALL our problems then the more hope I have..
We are each adding our collective thoughts to the mass consciousness and with each fresh thought adds yet more light to the end of our tunnel…
But Nature is already speaking to us, and is already crying her tears… Nature will always heal itself eventually but whether or not she wants to continue with mankind upon her back is another matter all together..
And One thing we should all think about because David our lives depend on Nature right down to the insects ..
Blessings and thank you for adding your thoughts
Feb 23, 2013 @ 21:54:52
Well said Sue. I love how the images drove home your words. Little things count. Recycling could keep that garbage out of the ocean. Thanks for the reminder about how much each of us impacts the environment.
Feb 24, 2013 @ 09:56:56
I too never believe its too late for change….and I see a new generation of young people that are becoming more aware….they wish to try to change….seems our generation lived in too much excess….we lost sight….but maybe we can pause and alter directions….let the children lead us…into what they wish for the future…
very nice write…
Feb 27, 2013 @ 06:20:44
Everything we touch we seem to taint……..
Feb 27, 2013 @ 17:12:12
Yes mainly because the Media I know reminds us daily of all our flaws… And yet I also know there are also those out-there who do so much to heal this world and our animal kingdom,, We have many whose untold stories of selfless giving are never brought to the fore… Why? because Good news doesn’t sell News papers… But the Earth Mother needs everyone now to send her those healing thoughts…
Feb 27, 2013 @ 17:19:29
Life is fagile and short… let’s make the most of each day – starting today!
Feb 27, 2013 @ 19:05:31
Everyday is an important Day and our Power of NOW has never been more important.. Thank you Christy
Feb 28, 2013 @ 03:46:06
A lovely expression on sobering statistics. You made a good point…good news doesn’t sell newspapers. So, what if we’re being fed a lot of twisted information and our planet isn’t as sick as we’re being led to believe. What if we all collectively started thinking that our planet is totally fine and capable of healing herself? Would she then be fine? Does the power for wellness lie within our positive thoughts?
Just thought I would throw some questions out there… Always wondering to myself. As always, you bring up some good points to ponder.
Hugs,
Gayle
Mar 03, 2013 @ 17:33:10
Yes the POWER of WELLNESS is within our very thoughts Gayle.. We are each of us contributing to the Sickness of the world by our thinking and our actions.. and just as easily we can Think it Better!
Positive of that!
and a great THOUGHT!
Hugs Sue xxx
Mar 03, 2013 @ 20:43:00
I thought you would agree with that, Sue. So instead of the worry and fear that we hold onto about the state of the planet…just think differently…that She is well…She is happy…She is abundant prosperity. Ah, doesn’t that feel better just to think it?! It works!
Peace and hugs to you…
Gayle
Mar 03, 2013 @ 20:55:04
Bless you Gayle… yes it works…. much love to you xox
