Silent screams for respect: hear her pain

I know exactly what you're saying here. To be honest, I'm glad I won't be here in the next century. If we’re as bad as we are now, gosh, what’s it going to be like in the future! Unless there is such a thing as reincarnation, then we could come back and make a difference. Rosina xena465

Wow this is my favorite poem I have seen since I have been here. I think we are wrecking the world and no one seems to care. I think it is the job of the poet to scream from the roof top that this is wrong. this is the best my friend, the best

this subject is one i am most pasionate about, and you have presented it in such an eloquent manner it takes so very little to make a difference, but it seems to be such a hard lesson for so many to learn. laziness? lack of care? i know there are many who do all, and more than what they can, but i fear there are more who do nothing for you seren... the one and only sonnet i have ever written (form poetry and me...oil and water) i was challenged by a poet friend (another site) who knows i'm not a fan of form...he expected a lovey-dovey, flowery, traditional sonnet this is what he got... Cry the Earth The troubled sea sent out an anguished cry a summoning of depth and passion deep, it stayed the gulls that floated through the sky, and woke a lazy sun from restful sleep. Its echoing was heard across the land where farmer tilled the soil with beaded brow, the noise he heard brought fear, and stilled his hand, then settled on his back, as though a cowl. A mother held her crying baby tight its laughing play disrupted by the sound that carried on its journey into night, to rumble over rock, and under ground The cry was one of sorrow for the earth, how man so selfishly, discards her worth. .......... i hope many read your worthy poem seren, and heed your message brava p

another of yours i'll come back to many a time and may i say to pleiades - brava to you too - what an excellent sonnett!!! love and hugs to you jc judy xxx http://www.strategicpublishinggroup.com/title/TwentyMyPrettyPonies.html

I think back to where we were environmentally 40 years ago and thank God we began changing then.If we can bring about as much change in next 40 years, we'll be alright.Of course change does not occur without people being willing to keep "cause"in public eye.Great message.......scribbler

I hear you, and I feel the same way as you do. Love, Cat

I had a friend years ago, whom I never considered as being too awfully intellectual. We were talking about some local pollution, when he said to me:[ We are nothing more than fleas on Mother Nature, and one of these days, she is gonna give a big shake, and get rid of us all. I don't know what makes mankind think that he is any better than any of the other species that has gone extinct, when their environment has changed too much for them to survive. Our population is growing too fast, and we are killing the trees that are the lungs of the world, at a tremendous rate, while we pollute the air.] I guess I shouldn't have been too surprised. He has been a hunter and out-doorsman all his life, and seen many of his favorite spots for fishing and hunting spoiled by deforestation, and sullied streams and rivers. I loved your lines, that reminded me of him: "She reveals herself to be in torment, and we parasites go about our everyday life". I would change the word [life] for [lives] because the [we] makes it plural. ~ Higgest bugs, and lotta love, ~ Gee

I would have liked to seen the word why used more in this poem.Why dose a man or woman not care ,what are we missing. I would like to know your poetry behind this you use words like parasite who are these people Now whom ever read this I love JC we go back a long ways . So as she has push me to a better poet I am exploring her poetry LOV2U JC PRESS

Just glad you are back. I guess people who spend lots of time outdoors, have much the same opinion. My 2nd Japanese poem kinda has the same sentiment. Must be something in the air. LOL love and hig bugs, ~ Gee

Hi JC, As usual you say the most profound things so elegantly and with crafted vocabulary that just cuts to the heart of the message. When you have children it's even more important to try to create an environment, a legacy to pass on isn't it? Love your words... Lots of love, Ells xx
