Life is neither in death nor in our birth
just as day and night don't turn the earth
like arms of a windmill need wind to blow
human's on earth have nowhere else to go.
No one more than man knows how to abuse this planet
there's good and bad, then those that take for granted
all that come's to us, now... will later go away
what today we put out, comes back to us someday
When a very small child, still wearing footed Pajama's
with pattern's of dreams, stars, and mooned planets
I had a nightmare, flying a plane, aviation hat and all
propeller, two wings, fuel running low ready to stall.
A very vivid dream, even felt the propeller's wind.
In my dream I went blind, I couldn't see to land again
the propeller burning up the last of the gas at hand.
thank God momma was there, she'd sat me in front of a fan.
The way we are abusing mother earth, how do we dare
her children are flying, low on fuel, it's a nightmare
are we too blind to see, Mother natures windmill fans
don't turn without wind, are we to fly blind into the end.
If we don't take care of this earth
there will be no life or birth
No more snow or freshwater streams
no more children's pajama pattern dreams
no more rising fuel prices
there will not be any crisis
first time there are no wars
No world or warnings to ignores
With thirty billion trillion stars far and near
The visible universe is fourteen billion light-year
a light-year measures five point three trillion miles
Ironic, that it is earth man so shamefully defiles.
Our environment is vital for this precious world to survive
if we let mother earth slip away and let nature die
it seems pretty clear, we'll vanish into infinite skies
we'll simply disappear in spirit of the blind man who flies.

This is so true. We do need to take care of Mother Earth, not only for us but our children and their children! Perfect title then the first line its not in death or birth and then the last line we'll simply disappear in the spirit of the blind man who flows!!

Beautifully put, the message is loud and clear in this piece, well penned. I do wonder though, where you have put 'granite'...should it be granted? Good luck in the contest!
