Sixth line: "breath" should be "breathe".

Honestly, I don't see this as downplaying at all, if anything, it's more thought-provoking and shows your humanity. Your compassion for the world, for what we all forget about and take advantage of. We HAVE been out of touch, amen to that. I had to read twice when there was an article about the canals in Venice with the clearest water. That's a huge eye opener. It's like after this, we should realize how sacred Mother Earth is, and shape up before we destroy even more.

Thanks for sharing this!

This is nominated because I couldn't help but agree with the entirety of it. An excellent and poignant piece.
