DEFINITELY NOT HEROES - The bulldozer Gods!
The Bulldozer Gods
I have been here since the dawn of time, my ancestors and me, I'm the latest in my line, its now my turn to see.... to live my life and leave my seed.. to carry on my ancient, so ancient family.
A sound comes to my valley, one never heard before.. a yellow monster spewing death.
Life that can move fast enough flees from burrowed home or tree, except the young who cannot move, left to die crushed or smothered by the beast so ironically named caterpillar.
Rumbling and snorting the monster comes, caring not for life or limb, heritage or history... lineage spanning back billions of years snuffed out in an instant... not to return again.
Mindless destruction so perversely named development, but often are lighthearted and deceptive names made to cover the truth. The real development of earth has taken billions of years to attain its perfect balance, beauty, and harmony.
Through it's wondrous animals our planet has developed the incredible, miraculous ability to see itself, to wonder about itself, and after all that precious time and growing pains, these animals have achieved the ability to think, to change their environment and choose their own future, to visualize things that are not, and make them so - truly the power of GODS !
Webster defines God as "one having special powers over the lives and affairs of people and the course of nature." As the pinnacle of thinkers on our planet, we have attained God status. The ability to create, and make virtually anything happen is now in our hands. Many religions tell us that we are the children of God, which indeed would make us Gods by direct lineage.
What kind of God are you?
Every act you perpetrate on a less powerful being is an act of God. Every animal you injure or heal is an act of God to them. All the creatures of earth less powerful than we must surely see us as Gods. In their eyes we are magical beings with power over their lives and deaths. Do they wonder why the Gods choose to destroy them, overpopulating until there is no room for them or their young? Stripping them of their heritage, and their right to exist?
What kind of Gods are we?
Shall we be Gods enslaved to the once necessary, but no longer healthy instinct of domination? Shall we be merciless gods destroying as useless all the less powerful beings under our newfound command? God driven by greed and profit? Gods who would destroy the ancient lineage of all that has gone before? Gods with no room in their heart or world for the ancient connections that brought them to their power? To see as dirty the very roots that nurtured their own tree of wisdom, hacking at them, severing them one by one until the tree itself dies? Gods who would destroy their own flock????
As Gods our greatest joy is to create. With this power of creation must reside wisdom, that in our passion to create, we don't destroy our roots, and that which we cannot yet create. We Gods have eyes to see the lives that lie bleeding, powerless beneath the wheels of our creations. We gods have ears to hear the cries of terror and dismay as we kill our one and only planet. Take not lightly the responsibility of your status. Know you, that you are a God and recreate the world in YOUR image. A hell on earth, or an island of life. A dead memory of beauty past, or a thriving and priceless showpiece of the heavens to cherish and protect.
The time has indeed grown short and we must decide
