Time To Turn

Time To Turn

A Poem by Healing Star
"

A vision of our Children's questions, to help us see what we are doing, to move our Hearts to turn NOW.

"
Where are the clean waters that we use to Share?
Where are the blue skies that taste of sweet fresh Air?
Where are the forests that we use to walk Through?
Where are the memories gone from both me and You?

Are these the questions that our children will Ask?
And what of their Children, will they have to always where a Mask?
Are these the things you want to run through their Minds?
How can't we see to change, what has made us this Blind?

Where are the Bees I seem to recall a Buzzin'?
Where are the Flowers we use to buy them by the Dozen?
Where are the Fields that use to grow lush and Green?
Where are the Glaciers there are none left to be Seen?

What is this Blackness that replaced Mothers greens and Blues?
What is this smell of spoil that regurgitates and Spews?
Why are the smokestacks now the tallest things Around?
Why can't I hear the Music over the machines crushing Sound?

Where are the Oceans that were teaming with Life?
Where are the Clear skies we can now cut them with a Knife?
Where are all my Relatives that use to walk this Earth with Me?
Where are all our Dreams they've been lost in the dead Sea?

What is this Madness I see in the eyes of my Friends?
What is this Greed that keeps us groping to this End?
What is this Sickness that seems we'll never find a Cure?
What is it that makes us push change off until next Year?

Where are the Rivers that once flowed free into the Sea?
Where are the Lakes that held the waters that we all Need?
Where are the Hopes that use to carry us until Tomorrow?
Where are our Dreams replaced by endless Sorrow?

This is a vision of what's coming if we don't Turn
These are not lessons we want our children to have to Learn
Let's see what we can do in this coming year we Have
Feel for our Children and do what's right on their Behalf
