I implore humanity,
leave the earth
alone,
let God's landscapes
be undisturbed;
in-which there is sufficient
for everyone's need,
but scarce for single man's greed.

wish for 2009 (less then 25 words)
I am a hydrologist, I saw indiscriminate exploitation of water resources, leading to its scarcity in many areas. I saw people even suffering for drinking water.

Well a powerful write and better word a strong satire and it is so original. Yes man's greed never ends, never. It was just effective i would say and short again. I'm running outta words actually. I loved the last line:
"but scarce for single man's greed"
~~~~Good Luck~~~~
