poor georgie’s almanack:
A Pray on Words.
They said Let Us Prey.
For too many people, all that will be left is Let Us Pray.
Against Mother Nature's advice to the native people, they said, do not let the underbrush burn naturally, we want to live there and enjoy the beauty and smell the fresh air as it is. The land is here for our use, they said. If a 100-year event occurs, our governments will protect us and make us whole, they said. For weeks the forests and houses have burned and ashes have been raining down on America’s west coast. The air has been desecrated. They stay inside.
Against Mother Nature’s advice, they said it is too expensive to build the infrastructure to handle the 100-year winds and rains and floods along the south and east coasts. We assume our governments will protect us and make us whole, they said. As event-after-event occurs, waters and lands have been desecrated. They stay inside, if they have an inside to stay in.
Against Mother Nature’s advice and relying on Human Nature, they say lower our taxes and cut the local, state and national government services to protect us and make us whole and to keep the power on. And they wait inside for help that others provide and pay for.
Meanwhile, an obviously frustrated Mother Nature is dealing with billions of other planets like ours with semi-intelligent life … planets where her advice is more likely welcome … because it is the nature of any mother to pay more attention and nurture those who follow her advice.
