RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: RIVER SERIES
The Amazon
The river that feeds a continent
That nourishes a vast rain forest
That mystifies the curious
And terrifies the adventurous
Holds secrets we have hardly glimpsed
Medicines to cure diseases
Formulae to life abundant
Lifeforms that defy all knowledge
Tribes that perfect new ways of life
The Amazon has stirred imagination
For as long as humans have been
It dares us to explore its mysteries
Defies us to make it home
Without the Amazon to cleanse the air
Our world would long have ceased
We thank the Amazon for its mercy
And promise to live in peace
