bearing on anything except the present,
how we breathe is not the issue as is
a clean environment and when we abuse
the privilege of living on earth we
should pay the price for its evolution
turning everything from green to black;
two thirds of life lives underwater and
we pay no respect to them at all since
all of them speak not our language but
an ancient tongue that was here long
before our time had even begun and
we feel superior because of the air
that we breathe to fill our small lungs;
the birds of the sky fly north to south
and some journey east to west as they
follow their precious sun across the land
and when they reach the other side, see
nothing but pollution and destruction
that they are powerless to ever prevent
observing their deaths from poisoning;
moments in and moments out, we are
undoubtedly the rulers of our land and
ultimately the universe once there but
while we dwell on this sacred soil and
see what we have done, why not spend
a little of our self-indulgence in projects
that will restore what we've been given?
