We are the only specie, on earth, with the mental capacity to wake up as managers of our global domain.
We need to manage and regulate all life-forms, including our own, on this fragile planet of ours.
We need to protect our globe against those who are still stupid and destructive until they too wake up to their global duty.rose whttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16682180123429609801noreply@blogger.comBlogger3125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7881436917373023822.post-33919066048725063622014-11-30T07:25:00.001-08:002014-11-30T07:25:29.925-08:00World Soil Day <span style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana; font-size: small;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana; font-size: small;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana; font-size: small;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana; font-size: small;"></span></span></span></span><br />

<br />
At this time, when we are nearing the<a href="http://www.un.org/millenniumgoals/" target="_blank"> 2015 initiative to make poverty history</a>,<br />
the increasing unsustainable growth of humanity is squashing that dream of ever being realized.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.google.co.za/search?q=poverty,+hunger,+starvation&client=firefox-a&hs=0En&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&channel=sb&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=VtxtVL3uLIbHsQSpxIKYAw&ved=0CAgQ_AUoAQ&biw=1024&bih=581" target="_blank">Seventy five percent of the human population is struggling to survive</a>.<br />
<br />
There simply are not enough resources to continue feeding the world at the current poverty crises rate; <br />
Let alone when poverty is history and everyone can financially afford to buy food.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.google.co.za/search?q=poverty,+hunger,+starvation&client=firefox-a&hs=0En&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&channel=sb&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=VtxtVL3uLIbHsQSpxIKYAw&ved=0CAgQ_AUoAQ&biw=1024&bih=581#rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&channel=sb&tbm=isch&q=human+over+population+effect" target="_blank">Humanity has to reduce its birth rate and strive for a zero population growth.</a><br />
<br />
There is not enough space on earth to grow food to end hunger without destroying<br />
<a href="https://www.google.co.za/search?q=poverty,+hunger,+starvation&client=firefox-a&hs=0En&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&channel=sb&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=VtxtVL3uLIbHsQSpxIKYAw&ved=0CAgQ_AUoAQ&biw=1024&bih=581#rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&channel=sb&tbm=isch&q=barren+earth%2C+drought%2C+food+scarcity%2C+pollution" target="_blank">our natural resources that is already at unsustainable level. </a> <br />
<br />
There is an urgency to address two main problems.<br />
1. The glut among high earners and<br />
2. The birth rate of the poverty-stricken masses.<br />
<br />

<br />
Every birth should consciously be planned and every child should have the right to enjoy all that the earth and her environment has to offer. <br />
<br />
<br />
It is time that we are educated to become responsible for the space we occupy on earth.<br />
<br />

<br />
Have you ever thought how much fish the world harvest from the sea for human consumption each day<br />
<br />
LET HE WHO HAS EYES TO SEE ACT NOW<br />
<br />
<br />
EX UNITATE VIRES<br />

<span style="color: blue;">I hear gun shots and no more roaring in the jungles of Africa.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;">They killed </span><span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: #000099;">the </span><span style="color: blue;">symbol of power and freedom in the jungles of Africa.</span> ……………………………..</span><br />

<span style="color: #000099;">I think I heard far-off lions roaring ……………………. on a game farm in Africa!</span><br />

<span style="color: #000099;">I hear people are now mining where the lions were roaring jungles was in Africa.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #000099;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #000099;">I hear caged lions roaring in</span><span style="color: #000099;"> the can-farms in</span><span style="color: #000099;"> Africa.</span><br />
<span style="color: #000099;">Tourists go target shooting, </span><span style="color: #000099;">while people go hungry </span>
<span style="color: #000099;">in the cities of Africa.</span><br />
<span style="color: navy;">The lions'-roar on the can-farms are silenced by gunshot!<br />
There is no lion-king to kill in the jungles of Africa.</span><br />

<span style="color: #000099;">I hear no lions roaring ………………………………… except in the can-farms of Africa.<br />
