The eye of the Beholder


Audio:


Text:


Beware the eye of the Beholder.
Beauty abounds,
but is often missed.
The lack of awareness is becoming acute.
Air, water and food are not enough to sustain life
as used to be commonly recognized.
As a last resort, the Beholder
has been let loose on the land.
If the Beholder finds you deficient
in certain essential elements of appreciation
you will surely die.
This is your final warning.
Behold
or perish.
Beauty abounds.
Open your eyes
before it is too late.
And beware the Eye of the Beholder.

A deep warning with a powerful ending!

That graphic is sure creepy. Do we need to feel like someone is keeping us accountable to actually change our ways?

I wish there were eyes keeping us accountable. If so, we might not have done ourselves in with global warming.
