My Part

4/9/09

In these times

we're being asked,

called, prodded, shocked,

to embrace change

of evolutionary nature

that is monumentally

beyond 'fine tuning',

mankind must mature

from hedonistic adolescent

left unattended, irresponsible,

destroying candy store

while gorging itself

on natural resources

until obese, sickly,

forgetting inherent purpose,

any intended existence

other than consumption,

denying their stewardship

for everything beautiful,

good, diverse, interconnected,

all that's miraculous,

everyone can ponder

how they're effected

by global shifts

and economic upheaval,

but question is,

envisioning positive future,

"What's my part?'
