Whose World?
Let me tell you now whose world this is
It's yours and mine and hers and his
Mammals and fishes, reptiles and birds
Flocks and hives and packs and herds
No-one can own it, though some may try
All they can do is just hold it a while
It's a gift to hand on down all the years
With love and hope and pain and tears.
Chorus
Whose world is it?
Let me tell you now whose world it is
Whose world is it?
It's yours an mine and hers and his
Yes it's yours and mine and hers and his.
Millions of years Earths evolution
One century of evil pollution
A high-tech throwaway life of sensation
No-one gives a thought to the next generation
You may think there's nothing you can do
You're just another kid in just another school
But they're powerful men and they're just fools
It's really up to you to challenge the rules.
Chorus
Whose world is it?
Let me tell you now whose world it is
Whose world is it?
It's yours an mine and hers and his
Yes it's yours and mine and hers and his.
Let me tell you now whose world this is
It's yours and mine and hers and his
Mammals and fishes, reptiles and birds
Flocks and hives and packs and herds
Do you really want the world we've got today?
Cos if you don't you've got the right to say
Whose future it is, who owns the world
It's up to you to make yourself heard.
(c) Rhys Griffith 1991

You must teach your children that the ground beneath their feet is the
ashes of your grandfathers.
So that they will respect the land, tell your children that the earth is rich with the lives of our kin. Teach your children what we have taught our children, that the earth is our mother. Whatever befalls the earth befalls the sons of the earth. If men spit upon the ground, they spit upon themselves. Native American Wisdom |

This is a beautiful planet and not at all fragile.
Earth can withstand significant volcanic eruptions, tectonic cataclysms, and ice ages. But this canny, intelligent, prolific, and extremely self-centered human creature had proven himself capable of more destruction of life than Mother Nature herself.... We've got to be stopped. Michael L. Fischer
