The waters are warm
And supercells form
You took all the calm
And left me the storm
For all you were worth
I was heir to the earth
How could you not care
You were there at my birth
You knew all along
That it was all wrong
Polluting the air as
You sang me a song
You’re not here to blame
So I’ll live with the shame
In this world you left
I still carry your name

A really nice tribute and a passing along of the responsibilities of taking care of our world.

Yea, I wanted it to underscore our responsibility to future generations — something that seems to be lacking lately

Great poem! 🙂
Most people have children but do not do enough about a healthy environment. It should be the other way around!

Your poem does effectively underscore our individual (and collective) responsibility for the effect we are having on our environments and the effects on future generations. Those of us who believe in rebirth also understand that we will inherit the consequences as well. So, the solutions start with an understanding and demonstration of spiritual values in our daily lives, recycling, simplifying, etc. Each of us can contribute something to the well being of all. 💝
