Our Only World

This blue green orb our only world

A world we sorely need to share

All the land and all the love

All the pain and sorrow

We are gathered here

To come together as one

On this precious home

our only world

Squall clouds are rolling

Bitter winds are hailimg

Rash kings are warring

And sirens are wailing

On this blue green orb

our only world

Glaciers are melting

Countries are drying

Grain fields are roasting

And stomachs they are cryimg

On this precious home

our only world

If we don't do something

We will be left with nothing

Woulld it not be better

To do something?

On

This blue green orb our only world

A world we need to share

All the land and all the love

All the pain and sorrow

We are gathered here

To come together as one

On this precious home

our only world

Malcolm, this poem is so perfect and it needs to be given to some of the environmental groups and sponsors of environmental protection in Congress. I may have to change my Substack to Diane’s Blue Green Notes!

The corrected first and last stanzas, if you plan to forward it to anyone. Added words sorely and so.

This blue green orb our only world

A world we sorely need to share

All the land and all the love

All the pain and sorrow

So we are gathered here

To come together as one

On this precious home

our only world
