Prayer for the Planet
Our parent our king
bring…
an end to the chaos
of droughts
storms
rising seas
May people plant in their own lands
with no weather making them afraid
May polar bears find glaciers to raise their young
May gray whales rise for air without fear of the spear
May forests marry and multiply telling tales to their
saplings of animals living in their knots safe in their shade
May coal miners beat their picks into plowshares
oil men turn their derricks into vertical farms
Energy company shall not compete against energy
company nor shall they make war on the earth anymore

The planet needs this prayer. Thanks, Lee.
‘nor shall they make war on the earth anymore’ is a really interesting allusion and play on that Isaiah verse. Quite liked that a lot.
“picks into plowshares” great twist on an old line, solid work and theme here.
This is needed work, Lee. Thanks for writing and sharing this.
