Climate is warming (Vol 2 No 44)
As climate is warmingWill bees keep on swarmingIf we just continue to damage the earth?Will birds and sea-creaturesWith beautiful featuresForever be lost by denying their worth?Will trees and each flowerSuccumb to the powerOf poisons and toxins we put in the air?As ice-caps diminish,A sign of the finish,We must meet this crisis and show that we care. If we start to measureSome things that we treasureIt may cause us anguish to let these things go;For comfort and leisure,Our life-style and pleasure,We claim we have earned and don’t wish to forgo;But we can all ponderAnd face what we squander,Then start to make change in the way that we live;We can curb excesses;Each harms and oppressesThe poor and the weak; we take what they don’t give. To greenhouse emissionsWe make our additionsAnd by them we foster some possible gloom.But with perseveranceWe can make a diff’rence;We can work to limit the fuel we consume.We’ll tell each law-makerThat every green acreIs ours to look after and not to destroy.God’s bounty possessing;We’re stewards of blessing;We meet our commitment with challenging joy. With nature so fragile,Yet dazzling and fertile,We ponder its beauty, its charm and its grace;Evolving triumphantWith life so abundant,Confounded we are with so much to embrace.Yet these green-house gasesPollute in their masses;We need to decrease them; we know that we should!When nature is bleedingWe hear urgent pleadingTo change our behaviour; we know how we could! If we stop this warmingThen bees will keep swarmingAnd sweetness of honey remains for our taste.Then birds and sea creaturesAnd hills and sea beachesWill stay in their magic, unharmed by our waste.The charm every hourOf trees and each flowerWill bring us to silence in wonder and awe.With God so surroundingIn beauty astoundingWe kneel in God's presence to praise and adore.
