Three Micropoems by Zdenka Mlinar : Environment Special

Oh God 
There is no sowing of native fields,
Nor the sowing of love.
From the Mother's womb, evil arises...
Oh, God, save the man;
Save him from the inhumane!
□
Wonder
I look, and I wonder:
Am I worthy of You,
How much did I wrong You
How much did I hurt You?
Plain, mountain, river... 
□
To Mankind 
Please show some respect, people!
Respect the greatness of the universe,
Respect his generosity,
Give respect to nature's beauty...
People! Respect, PLEASE!
