Before The World Died You should have seen the world before it died With lush green mountains where rivers flow free When stunning dawns and glorious sunsets vied With cloudy blue skies and emerald seas Then man, in his quest for wealth destroyed Himself and all that nature has to give Greed pervades with humanity devoid Ignoring pleas to let the old ways live Power corrupts and drives us all to war Murderous violence and mayhem ensue Nuclear weapons pound this world to its core Insanity that we would one day rue Hey, have you seen the world before it died Can you feel our grief or know why we cried Lee Photo by Lee Wei Wei  Live today as if it is your last For tomorrow will soon be in the past |

Hi Lee, as regards the death of the world as we knew it, most rural parts in Ireland are still alive and well and have not changed at all. We can always go there when we need our old world back. The local pub is the social place to meet, people are still friendly, and if you read my blog on the man from Aran islands you will know what I mean. I feel its awful to see beautiful cities, like Iraq Egypt, Dublin city is gone all global high rise glass monstrocities, and other places that are changed beyond recognition. Yes, we are all destroying the world alright.

Yes, we are all destroying the world alright. It is good that there are still parts of Ireland are still alive and well. However, I cannot say the same about my country. Even in the small town that I live in, the hills, swamps, jungles and consequently, the fauna and flora, have all been destroyed and there is no way we can bring them back.

Yes, we should be thankful and appreciate what we have. Change is constant but wars and violence should not be so. Furthermore, change should be controlled.

Hi flakes, Thank you. Do you know that there is still undisturbed jungle right in the middle of Kuala Lumpur? It lies on the land on both sides of the railway track from Bank Negara to the old railway station.  Lee Live today as if it is your last For tomorrow will soon be in the past
