The world, waiting for us to lead
to take ownership, responsibility
our consumption, our desires
hurting our planet
Our quest, for possessions
for more, leisure, independence
forgetting our stewardship
our duty in the world
loving our neighbors
treasuring our world
this good earth
warming by the minute
