(a poem for kids)

So Many plants and animals are GONE. We Need ta Change our Ways, and Change 'em Fast! Dear Mother Nature's looking Weak... and Wan – this USING her the way we do can't Last! This Eatin' Meat, an' burnin' coal and oil, they're Things we're Needing Now and soon ta Quit. And Poisonin' the Water, Air, and Soil? How CRAzy Greed kin Make us Humans Git!
Just How are We these days deFINing Wealth? As pleasures, comforts, Gold, and Piles o' Cash? Our Lives dePend on Mother Nature's HEALTH! Why Turn her Lovely Bounty Inta Trash?

Yes, You and I and All of us must Change, and find more WHOLEsome Ways of Havin' Fun. Our Lives' Priorities let's rearrange… and Git this work o' world salvation Done!

PEACE

Peace


If people drive ya nuts, ya Need ta Pray, and if ya can, ta spend some time alone. My friend, ya might just need ta get away, sink into peace's pool just like a stone. 'Cause everybody needs some time to rest, recuperate, regain some peace of mind. And if ya will, you'll find again you're blest, and even see those clouds are silver-lined. Could be you'll find it easier to love, that's love your self, and other people, too. So leave behind the hurried push-and-shove, and spend some time, dear one, in loving you.

KINDNESS IS SWEET

Kindness Is Sweet
(to a greedy warmonger)

When People Buy your Lies, they feel aFraid, and That's the Way you'd have your Suckers Be. And You, you're Scared ya Haven't Got it Made; your Greed's imPrisoned you, No-Way you're Free! It Must be Lonely, There inSide your Cell; if You ain't There, its There you're Headed For! Your Deadly Fears creAte your Special Hell – you ain't conTent, you're Always Cravin' More!
But Me, I've done some Evil stuff, mySelf, so I can't Claim ta Be so Lily-Pure; and I can't really Judge noBody Else – but Buddy, You been CHEATin' Folks, fer Sure!

So When you Count your Cash beFore ya Sleep, and Poor folks Pray ta Have eNough ta Eat, just Know that What ya Sow, you're Gonna Reap, and KINDness, Not yer Selfishness, is SWEET!
