GREEN SHIFT
Environmental green shift plans
Are all the present rage.
The fight to clean up where we live;
A war that we must wage.
It is no doubt a worthy goal
To be pollution free;
But we can't save our Mother Earth
And not humanity.
Although clean up is not in vain
The focus is misplaced.
We should look for the reason why;
A source that can be traced.
To save ourselves we must clean up
The reasons why we live.
It's only when we take from them
That to life we can give.
The "why" we live which dominates,
That's left our earth destroyed;
With money and the stuff it buys
We try to fill the void.
It is a task that can't be done
No matter how we try.
If we persist then it will be
The reason that we die.
Removing from our lives this waste
Will not just leave them clean.
Environmentally we'll make
A major shift to green.

But we can't save our Mother Earth And not humanity
I JUST THINK THIS THOUGHT IS NOT RIGHT SO I HAVE MY SAY!
NOTHING IN MATTER IS EVER DESTROYED PEOPLE MAY CHANGE MATTER FROM ONE FORM TO ANOTHER. PEOPLE MAY BOMB MOTHER EARTH THE SHAPE OF MOTHER EARTH THE TOPOGRAPHY MAY CHANGE BUT FINALLY MOTHER EARTH WILL KEEP EVERYONE THE DEAD THEIR ASHES DUST BONES IN HER WOMB WHAT A WONDER MOTHER EARTH. HUMANS HAVE DONE SO MUCH HURT TO MOTHER EARTH BUT WE SEE GREATNESS OF MOTHER EARTH NEVER CHANGED MAYBE AT TIMES SHE MAY SPEW HER ANGER AS VOLCANOES EVEN THEN IT RENEWS THE SOIL WITH FERTILITY. WE SHOULD NOT ELECT FOOLISH WARMONGERS CORRUPT HUMANS OR RELIGIOUS FREAKS OR LIARS AS LEADERS

Assuming our world is a closed system and knowing E=Mc2, then as you say mass/matter is never destroyed. However, I find viewing life in all its biodiversity infinitely more appealing than contemplating the view after we reduce all life to carbon molecules. As I said, to save our Mother Earth" from this fate we do not need to 'treat' Mother Earth. We need only cure ourselves of the activities that are destroying Mother Earth and if it is not too late, she will save herself in something close to her present incarnation. Doug.E.Barr
