In honour of Earth Day today where we think of protecting our environment and planet. Here is a poem by John Bradburne from 1970 on the state of the earth. He seems ahead of his time in his writing.Dixit Insipiens 1970 by John BradburneThe most destructive thing on earth is manDisparaging his destiny in God,He roots up forests and his bootless planIs concrete roads to speed him under sod.
