The voice of creation, of creator
Confronted by consumption
Cowardice and stupidity
Cruelty, indifference and degradation
We need to support life
Born and unborn; human or animal,
In the name of God the father, Son and Holy Spirit
Who gives us his goodness?
Bread to eat, wine to drink
All that is product of the earth
Truly, mother earth to survive us
Which human hand works on?
And Christ makes this own
Body and blood sacrifice for us
Among constellations and galaxies of stars
Planets and heavenly objects
Cosmos a whole but earth is unique
Where we live and where Christ incarnated
Christ is in all and all in Christ
Christ is the author of cosmos
Sent as gods’ incarnate love to earth
Born among animals in a stable
Christ born- bloody and screaming
And he died – bloody and screaming
Giving us –his body and blood
In Eucharist, his lasting gift
A gift which is life giving
A gift that is uniting humanity
But today where is this life given and unity shown
Because there is abortion – the biocide
And more there is geo-cide destruction of human life form
Ruining the Earth.
Good creation willed by God
And found good by God
Come and question us and teach
Creation is created by Abba Father
Therefore his will must be done in heaven and earth
But do we concern this?
‘Praise the lord’ is not enough
Nor ‘alleluia’ and mass is enough?
We must confront forces of dearth
And become authors of life.
Among humans and more among creation
Therefore we need to return to the roots?
There are problems that threaten our planet
Issues of poverty and human exploitation of others
Therefore a call to live values of gospel.
A challenge to live, full Christian way.
Master of creation
Chose us humans to be co creators
To complete the creation to full potential
How did he respond to this call, the divine plan.
Great intelligence humans received
Great invention, discoveries he makes
But the co creators went mad
As he created bombs Nuclear,
And chemical weapons
Biological warfare etc.,
A blasphemous act in the face of creator
At a point to destroy life on this planet
Hindered and thousands times
What an act human have done
Can you repent from this sin?
Beautiful mountains, the waters
Tree and birds, sea fishes and whales
Sunrise and sunset rain and fog
How splendor is the act of creation
Christ came and taught two commandments
Love God and your neighbor
With al heart, minds and strength
He taught- God is father of all
Humans of all cultures, races and tongues
Colors and creed and nations
Therefore we all are brothers and sisters in blood
Because Christ shed for us all his own blood
But what is the state today
More than 2/3rd of human race is living in subhuman condition
Of hunger and destitution i.e., living life like animals.
20% of human race, consumes 80% of the earth’s resources
But, 80% of human race survives with just 20% of the earth’s resources.
Injustice at international level
Mostly in 3rd world countries
There are news of people being killed
Of the human right violations
Of hatred shown and injustice done.
Creation continues even today
Though we fail to recognize them
In reproduction of plants and animals
And human race above all
The spirit gives signs of hope
Against stockpiling of nuclear,
Chemical, biological weapons
Millions die yearly and miseries continue
Yet arms sale and race continues
To promote self interest in the name of peace.
With millions suffering economic misery
That’s true because 2/3rd of humanity lives in sub-human condition
Of hunger and destruction
We had a responsibility given by God
As co-creators, to safeguard earth,
But, we are destroying nature
Though capable of transforming barren wastes to fertile land
We are proud of creating deserts.
