If Enough of Us Believe…
It’s all too much
All of it.
All of us.
Well, anyway, it’s too much for
Me.
I will therefore deny today
And claim a future that
May not be,
But is mine to say.
I will think of the time when
Earth will not be run
Over by human animals,
Of the time when flora
Will be the means to fuel
Our existence.
When we will casually discuss
Weather and politics with the
Other creatures.
When we will not hit with our
Hands nor trample
With our feet
Nor poison with
Our breath.
When we will be good.
I will say, ‘It is coming.’

Audio and Author Comment-
Sometimes I get pretty tired of hearing about the damage we humans have done and are doing to the Earth and its other inhabitants. Yesterday, a young female deer was killed on our road. There are plenty of signs that announce deer in the area. Nevertheless, they often get hit and killed by fast or careless drivers. Of course this is only one very small example of how we humans casually and foolishly run rough shod over the Earth. So for now, I will think about and wait for a time when we are more civilized and take more care. Thanks for bearing with me. ;-) skp
