Earth Day 2018
The Planet’s
Beau
Upon
Life’s path few signs display
why
countless souls have gone astray.
Yet
signs are there for all to know,
should
Man becomes this planet’s beau.
Pause,
my friend, let facts flow free.
The
moon should guide you through the night…
polluted
skies diffuse its light.
We
all could share its pilot glow
if
Man becomes this planet’s beau.
Pause,
my friend,...waste less, and see.
Stately
mountains that guard your plain…
hidden
by the air’s brown stain…
could
be a gift from her trousseau
if
Man becomes this planet’s beau.
Pause,
my friend, smell Man’s debris.
Extinction
fears Man could abate
if
to Earth’s plan he could relate.
The
cup of Life would overflow
if
Man becomes this planet’s beau.
Pause,
my friend, and hear Earth’s plea.
The
rains of Life fall from the sky,
yet
streams and lakes contain Man’s dye.
Life’s
liquid still could freely flow,
if
Man becomes this planet’s beau.
Pause,
my friend, and taste Earth’s tea.
Essence
of Man lives in the soil…
ravaged
by him for gold and oil.
Food
for all could amply grow
if
Man becomes this planet’s beau.
Pause,
my friend, touch Earth’s bounty.
You
now know why Man went astray,
But
each dawn brings another day
And
future ills Man can forego…
if
Man becomes this planet’s beau.
Arise,
my friend...to Earth pledge, “Oui”.
