Humane Society

Animals came first
right after the greening earth,
then came Man - that's us!

We came to complete
- as first is last, last is first -
the order of love.

To life, we belong -
to each other, and none else,
God's peace, to impart.

Through this love
...we own all.

Be kind to animals,
(and respectful of plants - especially trees)
they are a pure reflection of our own human care
and compassion for each other.

In a society
where animals are treated with compassion,
human beings have learned to become more human;
the realm of man - and - the realm of nature
dwell in unity and peace.

It is a humane society.

Addiction is False

Let me tell you, friend -
there is such as thing as good addiction...

'Tis that very ordinary love
with which Man daily tends to the labors of the earth
and allows him to quietly succeed in life and family...
seemingly hidden - to the world - in plain sight;
a love of the LORD and the way of His commands,
both all and sundry (the nations) and/or particular (honorable religion),
all that leads him (or her) to true and lasting (even everlasting) happiness -
this is true (and therefore, good) addition.

Now, the bad addiction is - so bad - it has to lie.



Addiction is false
and to have made it this far -
its lies are cunning.

What is false to Man
too is false to the nations -
its lies are cunning.

Man and his nations
are destroyed by its falseness -
there's no stopping it!

EXCEPT look away
find what (or Who) is worth living for...
and then surrender.

Love must love
and love true.

Addict soul,
you were made to love
(you know the power of this love)
BUT you were made to love the truth -
what is truth?

Nature is Patient

Climate change is caused just as much by the destruction of our trees than by the degradation of our air. Cut one tree too many in Africa or South America or Asia and the burden of that loss is the burden of all nations.

Our world's ecological debt is not sensitive to what boundaries we have drawn for ourselves upon the earth. What we owe nature nature expects us to pay together.



Nature is patient.
And her patience she invests...
in her green, growing trees.

Cut a few down - let's -
build a few towns and cities.
That's all very well.

Cut enough trees - and -
nature becomes impatient
and reminds with care.

Cut too many trees -
she becomes tempestuous
unleashing herself.

What was built,
she takes back.

Nature's patience she invests in her trees.
Do you know how long it takes to grow a tree?
Do you know the care it takes to grow a forest?



Give justice to our forests. Bring peace to our trees.
