My Poetry. Making a Difference!

Waves batter shoreline stones,
polished to a high degree.
No man-made power needed for this task,
just Mother Nature and her sea.

The force is magnificent within Earth itself,
more gigantic than man or his kings.
We cannot control the strength of our planet,
nor command how a bird flies or sings.

From ancient times, man has tried to control
the way our Earth reacted,
but even in this new millennium,
we can only watch closely and interact.
The Egyptians were the most advanced,
far ahead of their time and education;
their greatest buildings still stand today,
with no asbestos or harmful radiation.

What have we learned from millions of years?
When man did not dominate the planet,
animals ruled in fierce competition;
territories were bare and volcanic.

As we grow to a very old age,
we wonder what will happen to us next:
Will we survive as this planet deteriorates?
Or will things get even more complex?

Many scriptures tried to seal our fate;
predictions were almost turned true.
But who can truly make a difference to our future?
We all know the answer is you.

Look after yourselves and our Planet.
