Time To Change - by Chris Dews
Do we have to destroy all the natural things and the beauty of this world?
Do we need the ugly buidings, the asphalt and the noise?
Do we have to see smoking chimneys, the garbage and the dirt?
Do we want to eat so many chemicals, kill the insects and the birds?
Can this brutal chaos go on forever?
Do we dare to wait and see?
Is there another way to live, or is this how it has to be?
The truth is really quite simple;
If we want to live at all, it’s time for us to change.
It’s time to heed the call.
We can stop making so much of a mess, stop cutting down all the trees;
Stop making horrible monsters, polluting our rivers, our air and our seas;
Stop using everything up, stop throwing it all away;
It’s time to think of tomorrow, not only of today.
It must be time to use wind power, solar power and wave power.
Horse power, man power and people power;
It must be time to reduce, re-use and recycle;
To walk, to run and to bicycle.
We’ll need to look after our bees, plant more trees and save our seas;
We’ll eat less meat, turn down the heat
And keep stress away from our doors;
We’ll need to work together like brothers and take care of the others.
We must forget about making wars.
It’s time to realise too that the earth is not ours to do as we please;
It’s for us to use, not for us to abuse.
And if the message is clear, let everyone hear!
We need this world as a working sphere;
It’s to pass on to our children to grow on;
And their children to grow on and so on….
It’s time also to re-discover that the Earth is our mother;
That wealth and happiness, health and stature
Are more easily found living closer to nature.
There is only one way forward: with an ECOLOGIC pattern;
So if we want to survive on this planet,
It’s time to start making things happen!
