A naked moon

 

Your craters are empty dams of tears

Shed for your bigger brother

Drowning in empty fears

On and on he exuberantly exploits

Rebelliously ignoring his conscience’s voice

 

You cry for his children’s children

Who may not know a panda bear’s colors

Yet progress strives to constantly win

Without considering that  earth is our mother

 

Let your tear drops cause a tsunami

And shake this world to its selfish knees

Before  all that’s left for crying eyes to see

Would be soulless, lifeless, plastic trees.

Awwwwww.....thank you Lynn......:).......strange as it seems, the "big" issue seemingly dominating world politics lately is "income inequality" and not "environment/ climate change" anymore......won't do us much good if we spread money around but the earth goes poof........

A lovely message to the moon and a great concern for the mother earth.
You can be a great herald of peace:D
Even I have some messages to be delivered to sun and stars.
Wish you would take out some time to deliver them in your own, amazing style;)
Amazing thing ;) I liked it;)

A powerful plea to protect this earth and not have it go barren. I like that concept of the danger of it being naked like the moon, with no green -- the plastic trees/ no animals -- the pandas getting extinct. We do a lot in the name of progress, yet we fail to remember what legacy we are leaving to our children. It reminded me of Sara Tisdale's poem - there will come soft rains. A very powerful write Volcano :D
