From a Drip a Torrent – v2

From a drip, a torrent
the consequences unseen
the effects eternal
in the choices we make
the little changes in time

Using the resources of the earth
choosing selfishness
the earth our oyster
consuming when
we should protect

We must cherish the creation
the order from the chaos
all set in motion
a grand design
by the loving hands of God
