Today is Earth Day.
From where I write this, in 2017, the world seems to be on the very brink of self destruction. We can all say nice words about 'saving the planet' but when it comes to the natural miracle that is life on earth, well, the future seems terribly bleak. I wrote this poem for Earth Day. Blackbird song was plaintive, crying "Hurry now the earth is dying" Swallow, Swift no longer bring their magic flight to welcome Spring. Summer sun is hazy, fleeting Glimpses of the past repeating Echoes of a life now gone With little chance to carry on. Mankind killed us all, abandon All the life he killed at random Pumping gases, poison raining on the earth, no life remaining. All the beauty now has perished All the wondrous life once cherished Leaving but a barren waste Where once the whole of life embraced The miracle created here. Man made the magic disappear. © Jason Endfield 2017. All rights reserved.
