Planet born of a universal might
Day dawned, beams of sun-light
New life was of natures ways
Water of life, born of suns rays
Earth evolves on it’s planetary spin
Conflicts the scars lie deep within
Gather apace in earthly turmoil
Conflicts of terror over land we spoil
Cities bright, moon guides no longer
Sirens of fear are much stronger
Harvest a bounty under headlights
Labour all day, harvest at night
Fly one end of the globe to the other
Sails in the sunset hear a jets thunder
Bullet Trains clatter over dry land
Satellite pictures of expansion of sand
While there’s time mankind must relate
Harmony to live on earths estate
Conquest in vain, oh foolish free- will
Reverence and wisdom yet to fulfill
Philosophers we are called to be
Destiny for lifes global family
Ethics calls for human rights
Reverence be our guiding light

Well done, Lindsay...a lovely poem, which I did enjoy.
One small point (I'm a stickler for correct spelling)...you have written "forfill" and I imagine you mean "fulfill"....just a minor thing. I look forward to more of your verse. :)
What a thoughtful and beautiful poem Lindsay!
I would love to write something like you...what a great expanse have you covered in your poem from the birth of earth till today...

Very inspiring words... and in verse too! Thanks Lindsay. And thanks for your thoughtful comments on my 'can we learn compassion?' post.
I hope someone out there is listening. It seems very bleak these days.
Hi Rachael, Dellab, Gary & Granny
Thank you for your kind thoughts. It may be bleak out there but I do think many countries are implementing sustainable energy alternatives and conservation,but much more needs to be done.
Best wishes
