MOTHER EARTH

Your lush greenery
lies bare...
Your once fertile ground
gone bald

Your canopy of green
once sheltered many
Alas,now...
Habitats lost
livelihood all but gone

Flora and fauna
awed before
Now disappeared
What a shame
such pain...

Oh Mother
you are a sorry sight
robbed of beauty
None for our children to see

Your tears no longer
flood the plains
Only trickles...
fast vanishing
Taking away coolness all around

Green no more
Blue no more
You lack allure
Your natural charm
lost forever more

Man's greed...be damned!
Modernity...double damn!!
Progress...at your expense?
Mankind pays its price...

Oh Mother
What you once were...
i yearn for
What you are now...
i cry a million tears

Music moves the soul ... to feel like no other a chorus,a rhythm,a tune evokes many emotions ...

Music conquers the mind and sets it free ... to experience wonder and beauty in unison with the indescribable To just BE ... Music feeds the spirit with love ... Powerful and priceless.

That is downright dumb and dangerous. 'Think before you speak'. 'Look before you leap' were definitely coined after much thought. Words are so powerful that they yield unimaginable impact whichever way it hits you. i believe in it. Just three magic words,"i love you" soars the spirit whilst,"i hate you" can crush your soul. Sometimes words are uttered intentionally to cause hurt and careful thought is given for choice words to create such an effect. It is cruel. When no thinking at all is done before giving views or sharing information, it is damaging because it will cause
