Standing upon the mountain top

the world at my feet

watching the eagles soar above

while the wind plays catch with me.

I see the past

when times were easier?

No not easier

all times are hard

but simpler.

We did not worry about ice caps melting

deforestation

legalization of hunting endangered animals

our worries were small compared to today.

It vexes me

it should vex you too

that we are killing our planet

our very lives

with poor choices

and the wants of a few

superceding those many

who make smart choices

for the care of our world.
