Another Messenger Came…..Will We Listen?
...David Suzuki came, a voice crying in the wilderness; we laughed and barely listened as the smog increased.
...The First Nations came, beating drums for Mother Earth; we polluted the water and raped the land.
...The scientists came, with unquestionable evidence – the sea is rising, the earth is warming, the ozone is disappearing; we silenced them and destroyed their research.
...The poor came, unable to till the barren soil now becoming deserts; we turned away and continued our destructive ways.
...The hurricanes, fires, tsunamis and blizzards came; we rebuilt and carried on as usual.
...Pope Francis came carrying peace and Laudato Si. Will we listen and mend our destructive path to end it all?
Will We Listen?
