Attention mankind
Pause now, stop to think
Look at your actions
Before more ships sink
Ecosystems fail
Fragile planet cries
Look at your actions
Before more dark skies
Poverty and crime
Stealing life’s spirit
Look at your actions
Before more fear it
Corruption’s headlines
Does anyone speak truth?
Look at your actions
Before more untruth
Clouds of war breathing
Death ravages world
Look at your actions
Before more unfurled
Big Sky Buckeye 
Causes me to think of all that could have been avoided had mankind decided to think before acting. Excellent post!
