Man, he is a stranger who comes in the night and takes away from the land whatever he needs.
His appetite will soon devour the Earth and leave behind only a desert.
When will man understand that if we contaminate our bed, then one night we will suffocate in our waste?
That the wind that gave our grandfather his first breath also received his last sigh.
Then if this is true why doesn't man stop contaminating the Earth we live in and destroying it?
When will man learn that the Earth does not belong to man: man belongs to the Earth.
That man did not weave the web of llife, he is merely a strand in it.
Whatever he does to the web he does to himself.
If man does not make the changes that are needed to make this world a better place to live,
Then this marks the end of living and beginning of survival.
