Gray Eagle's Warning


I have been with the Great Spirit and he has sent me to you in this dream.
His sadness and pain is unbearable as he sees his creation exploited and vandalised.

Look around at the riches you have been given;
The  land, the water, the air, the plants, the animals.

Everything is provided for your needs,
There is enough for all.

You were given the intelligence to use these wisely -
A brain to seek out the truth.
Knowledge that could be stored and shared -
And the ability to reach greatness.

Why are these gifts squandered?
Why are the animals exploited for greed?
And the secrets stored in plants wasted?

Why are the forests, the planet's lungs, felled for short term gain,
And why are the seas trawled dry?
You were given a soul to recognise right from wrong.
Why then have you allowed your greed to smother your soul and ruin these great gifts?

The Great Spirit has given a warning.
He does not have to destroy mankind.
In a short time, if your soul is not stirred, you will destroy yourselves.

(2003)
