As the Earth bleeds

and

Oil seeps from its core, smothering life

Our needs come before everything

Our needs move in circles where money rules

Our needs place us up above all else

Our needs cause the Earth to bleed

Our needs smothers and drowns

Every living thing in oil and blood

Our needs are not what we think

For

Took

Moment

Think

Outside

Of…

Our needs, would we notice

Our needs are killing the planet

Stop!

And ask yourself

What do you really want?

As the Earth bleeds

~ Question: What’s wrong with using wind and solar energy? When will life take a front seat to profit?

shakira,
Thank you!
Too many people think if they don’t look straight at a problem it will go away. It never does it only gets worse.
Have a wonderful Wednesday!
