On One Earth Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Demonstrated love,
Can never be replaced...
By divisions of religions,
Political affliations...
Or one's preferred taste.
Taken for granted not to appreciate.

On one Earth.
Spinning as all inhabitants,
Evolve in a vast Universe...
Cloaked in a silent darkness.
And intended by a divine magnificence.

Where would we be...
Here on one Earth?
Without the birds and trees,
Or bees to communicate...
A doing to create the food we eat.

Where on this one Earth...
Would we be to defend integrities?
If rain from clouds did not fall freely,
To allow humanity to quench a thirst.
Or to even experience the miracle of birth...
Had it not been for demonstrated love?

And here we are on one Earth...
Believing ourselves to be invincible.
Believing we have a duty to begin conflicts.
Believing we can inflict what God has created,
With decay.
As if within seconds...
None of what has been done can not be taken away.
With...
A demonstrated love that proves what God does.
