This elegant poem is from Earthschool Harmony via Purpleraysblog. May we all listen and act.
Be a witness:
We see you as your rain forest burns
ancient green lungs erupting into flame
we hear your anguished cries
the same ones mass media ignore
we will give a voice to the voiceless
We will be a witness
Greed and eco terrorism rule
trade deals and wealthy landowners
deal in secret handshakes and dirty money
genocide ecocide sabotage corruption and lies
human impact fuels the flames
We will be a witness
This holy green cathedral burns
sacred land and sentient beings fall
billions promised for bricks and mortar
the hypocrisy of government and religion
trying to blind us to the truth
We will be a witness
We each need to look within
reassess our individual greed
reassess our individual need
make change and take account
all living beings equal
We will be a witness
No fear only love
no violence only action
no longer blind we see
