"Save our Earth," a poem

Save Our Earth
by David Weller


green ecology

healthy, clean environment

losing the battle

stocks, bonds and money

out of touch with our main street

absence of the soul

mountains now topless

streams, rivers now sewage pipes

unwelcome to seas

rain still comes and goes

but their intensity woes

detract from living

is it drought we want

or floods and wind damages?

carbon makes the score

does it matter if

you are left, right, center when

there's too much carbon?

"I don't know for sure."

"I have my heart set on no."

That's disappointing.

leadership reminds

constituents importance

there's too much carbon

we are its steward

return to nature and we

return to living

sunshine, breeze, rain, waves

come into my life today

energy God made

make peace with the Earth

nature gives more than you think

it's ours, we're steward

A letter to man about nature

A letter to man about nature
by David Weller


What kind of climate
do you want?
How can we be optimistic,
if it's been in man's hands?
Yes, God made Earth
and we praise Him for it!
God provides
if you ask him, or if you don't.
Man has shown he has the power
to abuse Earth.
Our mistake is that we forget
God controls Earth.
Who is better at nature,
God or man?
God has left that
up to us.
God or man?
Make your decision.
God provides,
do you let him?
If man provides,
he abuses Earth.
God is all-knowing,
Man is mortal and a learner.
We've seen what
unknowing man has done:
Deplete and abuse
nature.
What has God done?
Create Earth and nurture it.
Isn't it time we
let go and let God?
Never underestimate God.
Never overestimate man.
God is eternal,
Man is mortal.
God creates,
Or Man's mistakes.
You decide, because
God loves you.
Merry Earth day,
every day of the year!
