Mother Earth has changed: her anger shows.
How much time left? Only she really knows!
We need to change our attitude
And show a little more gratitude
We need to be more ecologically-prone;
Start small, like recycling your own cell phone,
And planting trees, composting food scraps,
Buying organic and donating clothes, perhaps.
Using rags instead of towels from paper;
Eating lower on the food chain, a daily caper.
Ride a bike to the P.O. instead of a car
Return to using leftovers in a washable, glass jar.
Purchase fewer clothes, and make them organic.
Use both sides of white paper, no need to panic.
Find one thing each day that you can change,
Like planting a garden, on your patio to rearrange.
| |
Make a list of all the changes you can do,
And add them to your daily routine; Yes, I mean YOU!
Check off each item as it becomes a habit,
Don’t run scared, like a small baby rabbit.
With list in hand you can proceed slowly or fast,
Just be sure the habit will last,
Until it becomes a change in your life,
Like eating your food with a fork and a knife.
Change is manageable in very small bites,
Until it becomes a true “passage of rites”
Just making small changes, one thing at a time
Is a perfect end note for this post-Earth Day rhyme.
