If I could change anything what would it be Personally I think that I would change history I would go back in time when the continents were new And discoveries were bold and adventurous too When the natives of the lands respected their earth In tune with nature they had known it from birth When the sky's were blue and the fields green And the rivers were cleaner than I have ever seen I'd change the way they would interact Discover the secrets to a sustainable act Respect all who pass their way And return that respect in a positive way Acknowledging all that is required to survive In a new land learning to stay alive Understanding the guardians and their belief Honouring their history and the words they speak Accepting to change only but themselves Strangers in a land belonging to someone else.........

About this poem:
A little bit of insight and respect a long time ago would obviously given us a different outlook now ..............Indigenous peoples have been caring for their lands for centuries with very little impact .......fast forward now and I see an earth poisoning itself .............Anyway this was just a challenge and here's what turned out .......Regards to all NU
It may be too late to respect our planet and all that God has made in it - man has poisoned possibly beyond recovery. However, people still don't believe it. I'm not sure if we went back in history if they would still believe it or not - for there are selfish people and countries in the world (mine included) who will do what they want and the "heck" with everyone else.

I think back to the story of Thanksgiving, we had about 70 years of peace with them until we started coming over in huge masses of people. I am sure there was more peace for all when we were just 200 million people. I think man started over here around 15,000 years ago when he came across the Bering Straight up by Alaska.
Hi GP .............Yes it's disappointing I just hope that people can see before it is too late .........anyway thanks for stopping by and the support its always appreciated .........Regards NU
