Earth Shalom Lament

By

Earth shalom,

The call of this poem,

While glaciers melt

And ocean reefs swelt,

Chemicals cloud the atmosphere

And plastics pollute, far and near

God’s precious creatures going extinct

And all of it, all of us, intricately linked…

Yet no confession, no lament,

No remorse, no clothing rent

Deaf to the cry, the lament of the wild

Deaf to the sound
