Ownership Or Guardians Of The Land Poem by Terence George Craddock

there were and still are
cultures with a deep spiritual
reverence for nature

who believed still believe

all land belongs
to a spirit that governs
all living things

no individual ownership
people were still are caretakers
of sacred land which allows

all life

people responsible for preserving
land pristine for all future generations
modern environmental earth care

concepts are mere shadows
of past reciprocal relationships
with nature which permeated

every social aspect
of life from spirituality
to making a living

to achieve a world
of love peace harmony
for all life without

terror conflict wars
requires a love respect
protection of nature

all life

violence hate rage
revenge war is the enemy
of peace and love
