The 23rd Psalm Revisited

The Earth is our Mother; We shall not want.(How many are in need and left wanting?)

She maketh us to lie down in green pastures:(How many do we have left?)

She leadeth us beside the still waters. (How many are still unpolluted or fit to drink?)

She restoreth our souls:(With how much madness can We cope?)

She leadeth us in the paths of Righteousness for her name's sake. (How much Evil will block our path?)

Yea, though We walk through the Valley of the Shadow of Death, We will fear no evil: For She is
with us; (How long will We live.before She can no longer thrive?)

Her Atmosphere and her Order, they comfort us.(When will we clean Our air, So All can breathe?)

She preparest a table before us in the presence of Our enemies; (Do we know the Enemies are Us?)

She annointest our heads with oil; Our cups runneth over. (When will we stop fighting over what Little remains?)

Surely, Her goodness and mercy shall follow us all the days of Our lives and We will dwell in
the House of the Earth forever. (That is, If we haven't been completely purged by Her!)


War, intolerance, natural and unnatural disasters, over-population, global warming, abuse of all resources, apathy, and self-interested politics all rip us and the planet apart.

For all our sakes, KNOCK IT OFF AND GROW UP!!
