EARTH DAY

Today is Earth Day April 22, 2005 All over the world Human beings will pause To give their respects To Mother Earth Here in the United States President George Bush Jr. Has confronted environmentalists He wants to destroy - Alaska And open it to oil exploration He faked it today By visiting the Smoky Mountains There was only one factor That brought to my mind - common His mind is as cloudy on the environs As it is on all matters that really matter This Earth is given to us to care as Guardians Remember the genuine wetlands, marshlands, and grasslands Remember the pristine lakes, the rivers, and the streams of yesterday The mountains, hills, valleys, and the vast animals roaming Savannas Well, the time has come to protect and preserve - Earth and all therein To the few that understand the mandate - there much to be done - now If we do not stand united - greed and corruption will sweep - everything We have fought the good fight and the battles have just began Watch out for the Bushes and others like him that cares not much For Mother Earth, human life, and standards that most humans tout The Mayors are coming to San Francisco in June - Environment Week I hope Mayor Gavin Newsom will speak out the TRUTH - no SPIN About the 3 Combustion Turbines and the expensive fossil fuel The stinking Phelps Sewage Plant and the PM-10 flares - deep Infant death - respiratory diseases - killings - youth on youth violence The destruction of the Muwekma Ohlone Park - this was no joke Lack of respect for the First People - daily pollution of Mother Earth.
