Wake Up World.

Goldfinch60



What a strange morning, 

I awake at my normal time 

And I listen, 

Listen for the birdsong 

But all I hear is silence. 

Has the heat of these times 

Driven them away, 

Driven them away cooler climes. 

Our world is getting warmer 

As the human race destroys it, 

They do not care about it, 

Those who can prevent it, 

Prevent it from being destroyed, 

They nly want what they want 

And do not worry. 

Worry about future generations 

Where the world may be dying. 

So come on world wake up, 

Wake up and help all the world 

So that once again 

I can hear the birds in the morning.

        A needed warning dear Andy that we all need to wake up to the position the earth and all life upon it is in today

        • Goldfinch60

          Thank you Fay, yes we certainly all need to wake up to the problem that is coming.

          Amen!
          'yeah, it sure is globally, 'warming'
          lately
          40 degrees, and being cooked
          alive
          sure, makes it a little more
          believable'

          • Goldfinch60

            It certainly does make it more believable Mek, they must do something to stop global warming.

            We cannot hear these words enough dear friend. They must be repeated, shouted, over and over again, until the world does wake up. Thank you!

            • Goldfinch60

              So true Bella, but those who can do something about it will not hear no matter how loud we shout.

              Great poem, and it makes you think is there going to be a day when we don't hear those lovely birds?

              • Goldfinch60

                I do hope not Tammy, birdsong has always been part of my life.
                Thank you.

                  Your welcome Goldfinch.. Is this why you choose this name. LOL

                • Jon Nakapalau

                  Really needed to see this perspective - thanks Andy!

                  • Goldfinch60

                    My pleasure Jon.

                    i agree with you that it's high time we wake up, and join hands to save Mother Earth, because our very survival depends on it
                    Good job - keep going

                    • Goldfinch60

                      Thank you Nafisa, yes we should wake up and save our world.
