Wait till you do any damage on land.
Or at sea, or to the trees.
Time is running out like fine blown sand.
We have not paid our environment‘s fees.

We do not need the angels whose duty .
Is to devastate land and sea .
We ourselves destroy timeless beauty .
When we ourselves forget land and sea.

We cut down forests with abandon.
We burn warming coal without thought .
The earth in glory we hold to ransom.
We put all responsible care to naught.

So what of all the Saints who have gone before.
Gould we not listen more to their warning lore.

………

The trees are dying
The oceans are drying
Do we care or not

………..

See Apocalypse 7: 2-4, 9-14
