This was inspired by "Fear No More" a poem by the great William Shakespeare, I took liberty with his words and for that I must give my most humble apologies and say that I was driven to change the great mans words and use lowly ones for a reason. All around us we see and hear the devastating things done to our environment, we can sense that the our planet is hurting and suffering through it’s cries for help in the form of those changing weather patterns and the ozone predicament and much more which I am sure you all know of. I thought if I use the great mans words to express this massage it might find a listening ear. And we don’t know maybe the great man himself might have done the same thing and wrote about mother earth and our suffering environment.
Fear yet more heat from the sun
And even more furious winter’s rages
Your worldly task isn’t done
Homes are gone, and so are wages
Golden lads and girls all must
Under chimneys be swept to dust?
Fear still more the smile of the great
You’ll never scape the tyrant’s stroke
Find no more clothes and feed
To thee the reed is as the oak
The scientist learning physics must
All follow this, or come to dust?
Fear even more the lightning crash
And the all-dreaded falling stone
Fear changing weather patterns smash
You will replace joy with moan
All children young, why children must
Consign to thee, and come to dust?
