Eco- Conscious: (July,2021)

Another dry morning, After a too brief dawn downpour. The heat is overwhelming. This 'green and pleasant land' Is not used to such extremes. Yet, this is the age of climate change, And now we must all be wary. The prophets and sages are Predicting another Fall. The rivers are running dry, And the forests are disappearing By the score. The ice caps are melting. Cloudy dreams are crumbling. I ask myself, when will the ravens end And the doves begin? When will the wisdom obscured by Modernity's haze re-emerge? When will passion flowers break Through the cracks of concrete? When will we awaken to the Light Of tender grace and mercy? Will we Ever be able to balance vibrant Nature And bloodless science? These burning Questions constantly plague my mind.
