CREATION a poem by David Weller

we are

a merry go 'round of people

we can

leave the playground

we can

conduct business

we can

go 'round God's creation

THE ENVIRONMENT a poem by David Weller

Don't kill it!

Don't kill the insects

Don't kill the air

Don't kill the oceans

That wouldn't be fair

Just will it!

Show that you care

PROVE IT a poem by David Weller

of course, it can be said--

and saying's the problem;

evidence is cause,

but cause is past!

RISE TO THE CLIMATE, poem by David Weller

rise to the climate,

we all conceive

it's not too late,

to truly believe

rise to the climate,

we all retrieve

Earth our planet,

pollution leave

rise to the climate,

we all are free

fight for fate,

around the tree

rise to the climate,

we all agree

it's not too late,

for you and me

GOOD WILL, a poem by David Weller

These times may grow dark,

in the pace of

catastrophe.

Just display courage,

in the face of

calamity.

Just know who you are,

in the place of

reality.

So be of good will,

in the case of

posterity.

TRUST IT, a poem by David Weller

The world is unbound.

Our climate's unsound.

What do we do?

Trust it as few.

The world is infected.

Our climate's neglected.

What do we do?

Trust it as due.

LIVE THE CLIMATE WON, poem by David Weller

Emerson defined the term

nature.

We have yet to see his

promise fulfilled.

Yes, God created nature.

It’s true!

And nature, is,

too!

Live for God

and look for nature.

Let us fulfill his promise

and live the climate won.
