A Call for Humanity: A Poem to Change the World


In the video below, Jamie Dunmore recites a poem that calls for humanity to reconsider our destructive ways. In our quest for economic prosperity, we have forgotten our interdependence and connectedness to all things. As a result, the natural environment is suffering, affecting all life on the planet. Our superficial values have us chasing material wealth while covering our eyes to the costs of this unsustainable paradigm. We call ourselves free as we continue running towards an illusory hologram that will always be just outside of our reach.

We now face a stark choice as a society: evolve or die. By refusing to acknowledge the consequences of our actions, we will continue to destroy the delicate environment that sustains our existence on this precious planet. Change starts from within, and it is our responsibility to step outside of our cultural conditioning to transcend the ideas of separation that result in our greed and apathy for other living beings. Watch the video below and be sure to share his message with your social network. Margaret Mead once asserted that we should "never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has."
