Waiting For Godot Poem ( Roughdraft )

     At night I gaze ups on the starts seeking you... Searching for any form of evidence that proves your existence 

                      But I find nothing...

      Perhaps you're farther away than the naked eye can see .. Past the stars, past the sky, and beyond the Galaxy .. Maybe just maybe that is where I may find you

      I hold onto my faith that you are watching me and that one day you will meet me and save me from this crumbling world ... But I have doubts ..

            Why have you taken so long?

            Are you really out there?

            Have you simply romanced me with your mellifluous words?

            Have you taken me for some type of fool?

            Why am I waiting?

            Where are you?... I am angry.

     I scream!.. I scream!.. Where are you? 

     How could you have forsaken me?!

     I am your child... I have come from you, yet you leave me in my despair and anguish ... You allow me to suffer ...

            What kind of father are you?

                You've abandoned me!

                You've left me all alone!

                How could you do this?

     The letters you have left me say, "He restores my soul. He leads me in paths or righteousness for his names sake, even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I shall fear no evil, for you are with me, your rod and your staff comfort me."

     I walk through the valley of the shadow of death everyday ... I struggle ... Life is a struggle ... Since our existence we've struggled ... 

When we were in our mothers womb we struggled...

we struggled to make it out...

we struggled and cried once we were born into this world ... 

we grow and struggle against adversities...

we struggle to thrive, we struggle to merely survive ... 

We struggle taking our last breaths..

from birth to death we struggle and although life can be thought of as a beautiful struggle it is also an ugly struggle ...

                   

          You said you would come comfort me yet I am still waiting 

           Waiting for you to hear me...

           Waiting for you to show me...

           Waiting for you to comfort me...

           Waiting for you to love me...

           Waiting for your approval...

     I have waited... Waited so long, relying on you, holding on to my faith that you will appear someday and leaning on the letters you've left behind, but I don't see it to be wise to wait any longer 

           My patience is tried and very thin ...

           My hope is fragile and frayed ...

           My faith is quivering ...

           My longing for you is ceasing ...

           My heart is growing cold...

     I am angry... I am doubtful... I am dismayed, yet I know you have to be out there among the stars and the sky...

           You have to be...

           You have to be there...

     

There has to be a kingdom covered in gold... 

There has to be a place with no suffering ... With no struggle

     There has to be a place where there is peace  ...

     There has to be a place where I can see my departed loved ones again...

     Oh Godot! There must be you .. Your existence must be known for if it isn't what shall I do? I am doubtful... Oh, I am weary, Godot you have made me inguish in despair but dear Godot! I am hopeful...

     I don't know why I am hopeful and have faith in your mystery ... In your absence ...  I suppose I long for you and cannot push through this struggle in this life unless I believe you are out there among the skies.

     This merely must be a test of my faith in you Godot! OR is it a sign that your existence has ceased?

         I ponder...

     I am doubtful, I am angry, I am dismayed. Oh! I am weary...

     I will not wait for you any longer ...

     I cannot spend the rest of my life waiting for you ...

            Waiting... Waiting... Waiting...

     I must take advantage of my own life and be my own hero! 

                   I will comfort myself...

                   I will save myself...

                   I will encourage myself...

                   I will cease to wait...

            Waiting... Waiting... Waiting...

     Now I see... Now it's clear... It has emerged from the depths from the depths of the earth it all makes sense... I have searched the stars and the skies, I have slept and wept! But oh Godot now I am awake... I am my own hero! How could I have been so blind, you never intended for me to wait! You never intended on me to rely on you, you are simply my teacher and I have learned the lesson... All this time I was searching and seeking for a higher power but you are merely my guide... My imaginative Godot! I have not looked to myself until now... How could I have been so oblivious?

              Surely...

          I am Godot!

Our Water Supply Is Vanishing - cheap and unclean water stance

  As a group we are focused and committed to educate our fellow classmates on what is happening to
Earth's water. This subject should be taken seriously and should spark a need to become active in

finding solutions to this crisis. Water is a vital necessity not only to human life but to animals and

nature as well. We cannot survive or grow without water thus, it is important that we are all educated
and are in understanding on this matter so that we can change our water footprints and stop this crisis.

According to the documentary Blue Gold , "..water has been a facet of ritual, a place of gathering and

the backbone of the community." Our group aims to convey that without water there is no life and

without life we have nothing. This Earth will perish and all life will cease. According to the USGS

( Science for a Changing World ) , " There is only 2.5 percent of the world's water left that is clean

and drinkable. Seventy percent of that is solid ice. While, only 0.08 percent of that water actually

makes it to our faucets." This is highly alarming and should be addressed, we as a whole need to take

both responsibility and initiative to change this stance of our water supply. Overall as a group our

stance is to educate our classmates on what is happening to our water due to population growth,

pollution, global warming and privatization.

Three Things I Am Interested In ..

I am interested in various topics that Hartmann sheds light on throughout his book however, the topics that interested me the most are Don't " pay as you go " , unsafe drinking water and aquifers.
The Don't " pay as you go " theory is discussed on pages 20-22; " Investor's lost everything they'd put in because the owners sucked their assets before they began to support themselves. " (22) Unsafe drinking water is discussed through pg(s.) 98-101 ; "..groundwater's around the world are now being found tainted with broad variety of drugs. " (100) Lastly, the Aquifers are discussed in pages 92-96 ; "Some aquifers have been permanently damaged because full recharge of depleted aquifer storage will not be possible where compaction and subsidence have occurred.

Climate Change

I recently watched Global Warming Fact or Fiction? via TedxColumbus. This talk was conducted by David Bromwich he provided intriguing factional details of climate change and the main factors of climate change increase. During the talk Bromwich shared that , " it is likely that human influence has been the dominant cause of the observed warming since the mid 20th century. " Climate change has occurred from both human and natural sources. It High Co2 is also affecting our oceans; increase in dissolved CO2 in surface water is leading to acidification in oceans throughout the world, which is causing major impact in the oceans. It has also been found that sea levels are rising at 3 millimeters a year ! Also, the melting occurring on polar ice cap sheets are contributing as well to the global sea level rise. The most dramatic changes to the climate system are occurring in the coldest regions of the world.

3-5 Topics I Would Like To Research

After reading both part one and two of The Last Hours Of Ancient Sunlight, written by Thom Hartmann, I have decided that I would like to learn more about Collapsing Aquifers, the " little ice age " , gaining by consuming and deforesting.
