Voice From The Sky
 













What we call the beginning is often the end.

And to make an end is to make a beginning.

The end is where we start from

 -T. S. Eliot











SultryRose's Signatures





Better Pay Attention




LISTEN TO ME !



A voice roared from the mountain tops
Whatever have you done
Where are the gifts I gave you
You've misused every one ?




I gave you mountains green with trees
To walk among and pray
I count a million missing
Now where are they today?




I gave you streams for fishing
So that you might have food
I find you've left them dirty
With trash, with filth, with crude




Where are the stars to watch at night
What has happened to the sun
What is this grey and stinking cloud
That's left when day is done ?




You need to pay attention
So I'll paint this cross the sky
In letters big and bold and bright
Full seven stories high




DO NOT TAKE FOR GRANTED
THE THINGS OF THIS WORLD !




Now, I know that you can see this
So I'll give you one more chance
To enjoy it a little longer
But this is your last chance




For what I've freely given
I can also take away
So friend you best be careful
This could be earth's last day




For the earth is slowing dying
Tho you cannnot see her tears
You , who have abused her
For the last million years
