Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of
view. The theme for this week is Earth Day, which is celebrated on April 22nd.
Today’s poem is a poem for Earth Day about the communal
responsibility for destroying the environment.
I welcome comments on my poems at

Yours,

Everyone is murdering the Earth.
All equally are guilty of this crime.
Redemption can be had, for what it’s worth,
Though we seem to lack both will and time.
How might we restructure all we do,
Deconstruct millennia of sin,
Adjust our dreams to what we know is true?
Yet we must remake ourselves within.
