At the Interfaith Eco Poetry Slam in Jerusalem, Nadav Slovin talks about the interconnectedness between humans and the earth. The only way to save the environment is for our society to see animals and our planet as equal.

From his original poem:
But tonight may I request please a bit-different sound.
The one which reveals that day without bound
Heard in ears of owls
from calm latent bowels
of clustered crouched tree-trunks
perched in deep fear
whispering forth their prayer
Gd
Please bring the sun
Gd
Please
Please Gd
Won’t you please bring the sun
It is the cry that I seek from the hearts of the wicked From the blamed and the shamed and the mamed turned insipid
Through our cry, truth overflows
In dependence and need our unity glows
So play me a song that will tear through our heart
Shatter my pain my protective walls apart
Our weakness transformed into shimmering prayer
In union we’ll cry with the bee and the bear
