Philip Lore - Reverence to Our Earth

Full of truth, this world unseen,
The sounds of silence scream!
Stately skies with realms of gold,
I gaze up with wisdom, truths untold.

A changeless heart fondly yearns,
For oceans, boundless, deep,
Birds on air, geese and terns,
Grand mountains rolling steep.

An unscrupulous world filled with strife,
Purest man rules his human life.
Mother nature, pre-destined years,
Life comes and goes, mixed with fears.

Sad reputations, mans' temper droans,
Those who laugh, much grief they own.
Earths spinning axis through the day,
Shades of the sky, dark and gray.

Intellect, rank and social worth,
Foolish people consume mother earth.
Prejudice conceals our natural grace,
Scorn, disdain on every face.
Life of man sets in its place.

Spirits clear, merit our success,
Many centuries....Yet for us to test.

Philip Lore
