What we want
It seems that I want the impossible. I want the world.
I want life to flourish.
I want the wild creatures free and running through the wilderness.
I want the space for every type of life to flourish.
There’s room enough.
I’m not alone.
Lots of us want the same thing.
I am told it is too much to ask for.
People are more important.
No they are not.
I do not believe they are.
The ants and bees are as important. There should be room for the chimpanzees.
I do not believe it is impossible.
If we have the intelligence we can manage our numbers, manage the land, and leave room enough foe everything.
What we want
What we want
Is not hard to say
It is merely hard to do.
We want the world
To stay green,
Full of animals
That are free
And skies that are blue.
We want the water clear
And trees to wave
In the breeze;
Tigers and rhinos
Running through the long grass
As they used to do.
It’s not too much to want
In a world so big
Is it?

beautiful check out my blog kindly 🙂
Thank you – I will do.
I think most of us do want that but perhaps Panama tells us why so much is exploited!
Yes – I think we always knew that.
Yes, the most surprising is how long it took for there to be a leak!
They are exceedingly powerful and I think that says it all.
Recommend the George Monbiot article on neoliberalism in this weekend’s guardian …
I’ll try and find it!
One can’t help but wonder if it will ever be that way again. I was so surprised at the seed library video thing Plato posted yesterday. Makes you wonder what in the world IS free on this planet anymore. How soon will we have to pay to breathe? 🙁
We’ll be lucky if anything is still breathing!
They are selling the future for a crock of shit.
Yeah, the kind you make in a slow cooker Crock Pot!
Too true. Slowly cooking the future.
Exactly what i want too!!!Beautiful piece!!!
