One morning in an open field
I see a blue heron
Flying above are geese
Walking in the woods I hear song birds
But birds and other creatures are diminishing
Glaciers are breaking, drought is widening
The air is getting warmer
Weather patterns are frightening
The Arctic terns losing their colonies
We are intimate of their extinction
Once, we love the earth
Try to shape it with our vision without understanding
Arrogant to admit mistakes
How is it that I have to ask
For a few good men and women
With courage to stand the challenge
385,000 babies are born in the world, every day.
They do not hide.
