This  was  originally put  up  on  site  on 18th December 2006 .

Things  have  not  really  changed all  that  much  since  then--  except  that  the  piles  of  old  prawn heads and  oyster  shells  are  comparatively  bigger this  year.

And  I could  add  another  stanza  and  another plea :

               As we rush to consume our world
               showing a greed beyond all measure
               into Inferno we shall be hurled
               as we destroy all Nature's treasure.

                  Lord God  who would wish Earth's preservation
                  Imbue us with desire for conservation.
