Earth Day is a day the world stops to recognize that our planet is and always be our home. This is the one day all of humanity have a common cause, the welfare of the Earth.
Sing An Earth Song
By Joaquin Turley
I sing an earth song full of sorrow, slightly flat and partially off key.
Who will take the time to sing with me?
I am earth creature.
I am life’s light, no longer strong enough to fight.
Looming tall looming large. Over an earth of people big and small.
When I was created my limbs were meant to last forever.
Reaching from the top to the bottom of the crust heaven created.
My hands sprout out and feed the animals who often climb my being.
I grew in a peaceful place that is now being destroyed by the manufactured
man.
Consumed with his greed for industrial living.
Creatures that were put here naturally are no longer safe.
On an earth lacking God’s grace.
An earth where no one cares for their fellow man and isolation has become
normal.
Where the things that are most important hold no value.
I sit and watch these earthly transactions occur on a daily basis and I weep.
As my sister the willow does, for earth’s humanity.
Is this the picture that God wanted us to paint with the brushes of life to be
placed in the mural of earth?
An earth filled with struggle, hate and strife. I sing an earth song full of
sorrow, slightly flat and partially off key.
Who will take the time to sing with me?

Beauty n Beautiful
By Reginald Black
Look at us, can’t even comprehend how birds fly. True elegance and grace just
pass us by.
How foolish, how we coast through life. The wonders you see stretch as far as
the sea. From the smallest honey bee, to the creation of the human city. All of
it just like a face, simply pretty.
No need to gather in groups. Just pick up a flower, you’ll see the truth. The
earth is beautiful and so are you.
A perfect creation, meant to be one nation and to appreciate their habitation.
A whole world to take of. Yes my friends it will take all of us.
If earth is our bus, then we must work to maintain and keep it up.
Reggie’s Reflections – Social Icon?
By Reginald Black
I was beginning to come back to some normalcy. I had a place to stay, and was becoming a better vendor. The director started giving me events to attend. This particular one was a Hip-Hop summit for the Homeless. I played the background as usual. Soon it was my turn to take the stage. It was a great day and the live atmosphere gave me self-worth. I was baffled by people asking for my autograph.” Could it be?” I thought. ”Am I now the center of social attention?” The entire day I was an artist, not just homeless. I didn’t even bother chatting online, but the question was Am I now a social icon? All the evidence seems to make that point, but could I really have change status so quickly? Unsure, I pressed on anyway.

Last Earth Picture
By David Rubin
An aged picture of the earth.
Find the faded and oldest colors.
You will need rest and faith to bring anew your work. Strength to draw from
Saint Magdalene.
Not paid money for work done, if working, paid with happiness.
Earth how seen, then you draw how they are.
God is omnipresent.
David volunteers and is writing his own novel.
