A silent voice can only endure what is wrong 16
A loud voice will get the attention of others
We must be the voice for a change in attitude
A tool for working on what will soon kill us.
The sky is beautiful, the air smells sweet 17
The moon, stars, and yes, the sun, amazing
Rustling leaves and grass, rippling brook
I want my children's children to enjoy them too.
If we close our eyes we will not see what's wrong 18
If we plug our ears, we won't hear agonizing screams
Squeeze our nostrils and we won't smell bad things
But.. it does not make the wrongs disappear.
Each human being is an island unto him/herself 19
We grow and live by communicating with others
To see what is happening in the world around us
We must step off our island and view the whole.
True reality is beyond the single man and woman 20
It is there just beyond the needs and wants of each
Reality can only be grasped by reaching out to it
Grab it, look closely, and act upon what you see.
