Are We Reaching The End Of The Journey Poem by louis rams

Are We Reaching The End Of The Journey

Rating: 4.9


we are close to the end of the journey
that we've been put to travel.
every opportunity we've been given
so that we can continue to be living.

but we choose to ignore the signs
and it's getting close to the end of time.
we're being shown the possibilities
of destruction, without interruption.

tsunami's, fires, hurricanes, earthquakes
land and mud slides, droughts, floods
economies failing, children dying
women crying, and hunger.

this list will never end
of all that is coming our way
it is time for us to kneel and pray.

pray to GOD, no matter who
you may classify him to be.
it is time 'for us' to set ourselves free.

he has given us all the tools
but we choose to break the rules.
we think only of ourselves
and the all mighty dollar.
it's time to stop and to 'shout and holler'

we have had enough of what we created
and it's time to turn things around
otherwise we are hell bound.

let's take care of mother earth
she has been with us, since her birth.
the food above, and below the ground
and the oceans with fish abound.

all these things, she has given to us
and in her we put our trust.
let us stop this journey short
and our ways we must abort.

let us choose the path that the LORD has given
so that we can continue living.

Always thought when the time came for me to retire, I would walk around the City with a garbage bag and what ever I needed to pick up garbage. It's just a thought right now because everytime I try to clean the Cig. butts outside our work area, it looks just as bad a week after the clean up. Some things will never change unless drastic action is taken. Who ever took the strap away anyways?
