When I say "walking across the sands of time",
I see in my mind's eye, walking on the pristine gold sands of a beautiful empty beach.
Will our future generations, who always see beaches littered with waste, foreign objects and grime,
see the same image in their mind's reach?
Our world is cluttered with gadgets, plastics and object which keep us busy, day and night.
We earn to buy them and we buy to earn them.
Is it sustainable, our choices, our actions, our use of natural resources - are we wrong or are we right?
Cleaning up our natural resources is going to be a long and exhausting fight.
When we innovate we need to keep the planet on top of our mind,
When we spend for convenience, we need to think beyond our daily grind.
When we try to clean up, we must do what is right. In the future, right and wrong will not be black and white.
Otherwise, Water will become our liquid gold, a lush green garden would indicate wealth multi-fold.
Clean air would mean a high standard of life.
Pollution and erosion would replace poverty and political strife.
The things we take for granted will become precious and rare.
Our world will become dystopian, dull and bare.
Clean up in your own capacity, to ensure life on earth.
Our time, effort, energy and focus, it is truly worth.
