They believed that death was imminent when the owl called out their name…
They believed in the magic of life…they treated everyone the same.
They believed everyone is family from the moment they arrive
They believed in a world where everyone help everyone to live, and to survive.
They had no need for war, no need for armies or police
They believed in working together for harmony and peace.
They had no word for thank you…gratitude was undeclared…
There is no need for thank yous when everything is shared.
They knew the importance of nature…for all they depend upon.
They knew without the trees, the animals the water…they would all be gone.
They had so much to teach us…oh how our world would have been enhanced
If only we would had listened…if we gave their words a chance.
But we ignored their wisdom…and our world was not enhanced
yet I wonder if it’s possible…we’ve been given a second chance…
To consider their words and meaning
for wouldn’t it be a shame
if we do not listen a second time
before the owl calls out our name.
