These thoughts
Keep drumming
Through my head
There are truths
You learn that
Stick with you
And these are the
Truths that keep
Running through
My head that keeps
Me grounded to me
And keeps me sane
There are so many
People who are
Lost and who
Can't see the
Beauty and the
Simplicity of the
Life that is all
Around them
Life is never
Meant to be
Forfeited for
The likes of
Gain or profit
And all life
Means something
We can no more
Disregard our
Mother Earth
As we can
Disregard and
And toss aside
The animals and
Our brothers and
'Sisters that live
On this Earth with
Us and we must be
Willing to see and to
Understand that we
Are all part of the
Whole and we can't
See ourselves as
Somehow separate
Or different than
Anything else on
This planet and
Definitely not
Better or set
Aside from the
Plants and the
Animals or the
Earth and we
Need to realize
That we are all
Parts of the whole
Living breathing
System that brings
Life to everything
On this planet
And when we try
To disrupt the
Natural order and
Put ourselves above
The natural system
And try to control
Or to change it is
When we can find
Ourselves hurting
Ourselves and our
Planet and all of
Our brothers and
Sisters that are
Living on this
Earth with us
We must be able
To understand this
If we are to truly
Survive as a race
Because if we do
Not change the
Way we are doing
Things we will end
Up not only hurting
Our planet but our
Lives in the process
We need to be able
To see the bigger
Picture and see
That we all
Have a stake
And a right to
Live on this
Planet that we
All call home
