Clouds Of Rain

Weary though the world may be
still it's the only one for you and me
the one place we all must call our home
even the astronauts who did once roam
and set a flag upon that dusty moon
where none had been to sing a tune
yet all have witnessed the disc in the sky
ever since man first looked up and pondered why
the shape was sometimes full and bright
but then shrank into a crescent light
that vanished while the sun still came
on days when not hidden by clouds of rain

Let's view the world as others might
a blue sphere bathed in warming light
one that holds the keys to life for all
those millions of organisms great and small
which in the end all have a part to play
so let's please not blow any more away
but take a rational view while we still can
and balance the needs of all not just man
keep biodiversity always in the public eye
and shape our laws against those that still try
to profit from anothers painful demise
before every wondrous angel cries.....
