BLAME

The world we share, sad, but true,
is troubled Lord and some blame you.
They blame you for the killer car,
disease and pain, their lives turned sour.

Children choke on poisoned fumes,
death leaves quietly, empty rooms.
Metal snakes crawl concrete streams,
dying seas still haunt our dreams.

Forest burn and rivers flood,
crushing snow, consuming mud.
Nature screams her swift reply
covers all and people die.

Forgive us Lord for all we've done
our planet dying in the sun.
This precious earth that gives so much
raped and pillaged by man's touch.

Some call it progress, others greed,
we share the guilt and plead our need.
The blame is ours and we must teach
we care for life within our reach.
