Show Nature A Little Kindness Poem by Mark Heathcote

Dogs and hunters
fishermen-and-miners
they all must work to eat
they all have a master
to whom they must heel.

You can kiss as many feet as you desire
but He doesn't require any more fools.
All He asks from you is for you to work
and eat together in harmony, show a little
humble understanding to a beggar or a thief
He feels it's not much to ask from you.

Even good dogs chew their master's shoe
every gamekeeper was once a poacher too
He feels it's not too much to ask from you
because every fisherman has-opened
gutted the belly of a fish with his pocket knife
because every miner has stolen a gem or two
to feed his family or give to his darling wife.

He's not asking for a heel-dog,
all He asks from you is for you to work
the woodlands and fields in harmony,
show nature a little kindness
be of a caring-nature love your surroundings.
