'Listening to the Groaning of Creation' is one of the topics that is being deliberated on in the 'Asian Church Leaders Theological Consultation' that is being held now at the Presbyterian Bible College, Hsinchu City, Taiwan. We would like to share with you a poem on Global Warming, by Amita Thomas, a 13 year old girl from India.
A
Poem on Global Warming
Only
when...
Only when the last tree has died
When the last river has dried
When earth turns poisonous and deadly
We will realize we can’t eat money
Only when the last breath of oxygen has been consumed
When the last flower died before it bloomed
When the mighty atmospheres begins to tear
We will realize we can’t live elsewhere
Only when the last rain turns acid
When the last human is bedrid
When every drop of water turns impure
We will realize not everything has a cure
Only when the last fish suffocates
When the last animal body decays
When the last remains of these species is a mere bone
We will realize we can’t live on our own
Only when the last piece of history is destroyed
When the last truth of our existence is ruined
When there no longer exists a word called “smile”
We will realize we’d been wrong all the while
