Colombus Day..What's Shaking!!

Promoted by Italians to celebrate Colon'

Now...many want the memory left alone

Rewriting, judging history is hard to do

A bit of hypocrisy with eyes that are new

Judging the past.. while still burning oil

Felling the forests, washing away soil

As our legacy grows worse every day

Still we judge, like we are A-OK

We humans, as oppressors we're the best

Kill, torture, enslave, we don't rest

Wave bibles, korans into the air

We're so good, so holy, we declare

Got pope tellin' lies of hope & love

Should be telling men; wear a glove

Yet, on we destroy, driven by greed

Shortsighted, still we overbreed

At our current destructive pace

Be none to write history of human race..

On the fossil record, a thin stain

With nothing caring to explain

Ever nearing an extinction junction

Ignoring growth & the exponential function

8 billion? 9 billion? 'fore the crash

When we become just mo' carbon trash

So, be slow to jump in & judge

Ponder first, your personal smudge

Today On Earth

🌎

Not much shaking in lower 48

In last 2 states, movements great

Off AK @ 6.9 & off Hawai'i @ 6.2

Thinking tsunami, about to brew

But, no wave warnings were sent

Seems Earth just getting a little bent

On La Palma, still adding new land

800 new acres, not yet in demand

If on a volcanic isle, you want to be

Don't be surprised if ya gotta flee

And, if ya gonna run ultra-marathon

Bring some weather insight along

Seems whole race caught in the snow

In the mountains, how'd they not know

Here we're still in the cloudy gloom

Western Mexico, hurricane going boom

And, solar blast still heading our way

Arrival time, seems later today

Maybe auroras into northern USA

We know the rules, change underway

So, whatever you do this Colombus Day

Before you get into a judgy way

Are you working to find a solution

Or

Are you just adding to the pollution

We're all stuck on the planet together

Good times ahead, or more stormy weather

If we aren't willing to confess

That we are who made the mess

And, will we or Earth clean it up

Change will continue to be abrupt..

Today On Earth

Time to open a new door...
