Wakeup Calling
humanity rages
destruction in stages
of everything under the sun
the birds and the bees
the rivers and trees
it seems like the end has begun
a population of people
turned into sheeple
conditioned to crave more and more
life based on greed
want, desire and need
leads to nothing but war
the planet is dying
the animals crying
the forests all being cut down
the climate is hot
except when it’s not
and some say we’re all going to drown
we eat poison foods
take meds for our moods
we’re so ill we cannot take action
to keep us asleep
the tendrils run deep
with all manner of lies and distraction
we cut the tops off the hills
down below oil spills
for us to progress, it is said
it’s hard not to believe
if we do not grieve
soon we all will be dead
living in fear
something is near
now we are all scared to death
chaos and change
can often feel strange
please just take a deep breath
so what can we do
just me and you
to turn this whole thing around?
one way to recall
our connection to all
is to put our bare feet on the ground
now feel the Earth
remember its worth
let the energy run through your soul
look deep in your heart
that’s where you start
to connect yourself to the whole
this cannot be solved
if you don’t get involved
start now, there’s no time to wait
change how you’re living
stop taking, start giving
please, before it’s too late
and so there you are
if you’ve made it this far
three last things I will say if I may
begin with a bow
stay here in the now
and remember to breathe every day

Reconnecting to the Earth is wakeup call to help us remember that we are not separate from the Earth. Even though our modern society has lost its connection to the natural world, deep within, we know there is a fundamental sustenance that comes from being nourished and inspired by nature. And everyone has the ability to feel it. This is a guidebook on the path back to that feeling.
