Apathy's Consequence

With a REVERENCE for nature I read the scientist's words of warning and when I put down the paper, I felt a new CONSTERNATION while my children ENCOMPASSED the breakfast table that early Sunday morning. As I sat there looking at them, I was filled with CONDEMNATION as I thought of all those who ignored this PREDILECTION I feared, and their APATHY as my children’s world disappeared with the UNEARTHLINESS of death and eradication By:Carole O'Terry Duet Copyright: 11/19/2018 "All Rights Reserved

Thank you, Vijay. Environmental Catastrophe is the #! MOST IMPORTANT issue of our time and it is not getting the attention and/or exposure that is critically needed IMO. Carole :(

Excellent use of these 7 words Carole, yes indeed it is Apathy and ignorance I feel that sees our children's world disappearing with the unearthliness of death and eradication. Love the reasoning and rhyme in this and truly a fave....Maria hugs
