Of Such Priceless Worth, Our Earth
by Seah Greenhorn
(poem with copyright)
Preservation of our marvelous earth comes through enlightenment Divine.
Elevating our imperfect, though brilliant minds, as to what our Creator defines
as righteous. For his purposes we must know, as to why our crystal rivers do flow endless in cycles. Why our moon, in heavens exquisite, do glow nightly affecting rising tides that hide a multitude of varieties our taste buds do appreciate or conversely deride as unpalatable.
Amazing that these options upon us were bestowed even before our birth. Love in abundance to us shown. We walk, dance, skip among these demonstrations of supreme affection daily in ignorance or arrogance. The rain refreshing and cleansing our world, yet we curl or stretch out upon our couches, lay our weary heads upon our pillows and gently or not snore.
Did we give thanks for the day before?... True, scores upon scores of years, we felt the heat from the nation's roaring anger demolishing our natural resources through greedy wars. The future of our children's birthrights in danger of annihilation.
Did we dream this stream towards governments internationally reigning in supreme defiance of the Almighty's appointed King? Haughty prideful strides through history deem it a necessity for God the Warrior to righteously intervene. To sift the world of wickedness ending this rush to a precipice of eternal disaster. The Sovereign is educating mankind for this happily ever after on this earth. I am dedicated to proclaiming this truth of such priceless worth.

Reason for poem:
Write a poem for contest Dedicated to My Cause
Many believe that the earth is being destroyed on many fronts You will be Captain Planet for this contest because you will choose an area of concern and use your poetic words in dedication to this cause that can restore balance on the earth.
As usual I believe that shorter precise poems are more effective so no more than 20 lines please. Coin your own version of the topic but I should be wowed by your poetry to believe in this cause.
Hint: Rhythm is more important than rhymes to me I will add HM later.
OK, let's do it.
{Based upon Psalm 96:7-13:}
"Give Jehovah his due, you families of the peoples,
Give Jehovah his due for his glory and strength.
Give Jehovah the glory due his name;
Bring a gift and come into his courtyards.
Bow down to Jehovah in holy adornment;
Tremble before him, all the earth!
Declare among the nations: “Jehovah has become King!
[The earth is firmly established, it cannot be moved.]
He will judge the peoples fairly.”
Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be joyful;
Let the sea thunder and all that fills it;
Let the fields and everything in them rejoice.
At the same time let all the trees of the forest shout joyfully
Before Jehovah, for he is coming,
He is coming to judge the earth.
He will judge the inhabited earth with righteousness
And the peoples with his faithfulness."
