Earth Song

Feb-18-2011 By Barbara Zak

What About us?  What About EVERYTHING!  Can WE Save the EARTH?

I love the lyrics, in Michael Jackson’s Earth Song.  The words are so true,  it’s like an anthem from Earth, crying out.  Although, this is from the 2010 Grammy Awards, it is a beautiful tribute.  It gives us lots to think about, for the state of our world, a year later.  Really, it does make you wonder about EVERYTHING!  

WHAT, if anything, can we do to save and protect our Fragile Earth?
