Earth's sword
Earth is a curious place. Sunrise evokes awe
in those who watch a day’s waking hour. To survive
that day, or consecutive days, we’re totally
reliant upon our ingenuity and
the society we’ve built. Were it not for our
technology, logistics and planning, many
of us would not be here. Earth’s beauty hides this harsh,
double edged sword. Something so beautiful can be
lethal. On the other hand, everything we
need can be found on our planet. Resources which
our generations squander, for the sake of ease,
money and power, restricting the potential
for our subsequent generations to survive.

Thanks both for your comments.
I agree, we have the capacity, ingenuity and capability to look after and nurture our envrionment and the plethora of fellow Earth dwellers we share that with.
What frustrates me is that we don't.
So much could be done, and just isn't.
That doesn't take away from the amazing and vital work of so many of us get involved in and support.
I just worry that time will run out, and we'll be faced with a giant problem that it's too late to fix.
I do cross my fingers and hope, though!
