The almighty LAWN

The almighty LAWN

I can not look at new mown grass
without seeing the blood that is
spilled for gas.
I can not look at green lawns
where dandelions used to be found
without seeing chemicals go
in the ground.
I can not see an acre of clear-cut
trees without falling down on my
knees
begging God to make a place
for future members of the human
race
who really should not have to pay
for the horrible choices we make
today.

thanks

Thanks Silent Lotus. And to everyone - I think this beautiful poem from ee cummings says all I want to say today:

i thank You God for most this amazing
day:for the leaping greenly spirits of trees
and a blue true dream of sky;and for everything
wich is natural which is infinite which is yes

(i who have died am alive again today,
and this is the sun's birthday;this is the birth
day of life and love and wings:and of the gay
great happening illimitably earth)

how should tasting touching hearing seeing
breathing any-lifted from the no
of all nothing-human merely being
doubt unimaginable You?

(now the ears of my ears awake and
now the eyes of my eyes are opened)

peace & blessings - Jasmine
