HOW COOL WOULD IT BE IF THIS POEM MADE A MOTHER F*****G DIFFENCE? What happens when there are no more trees by Mother Nature grown? Will humanity finally discover if we kill the trees we’ll all die together? What happens when people discover only weeds from the seeds they’ve sewn, While mankind is trying in vain to control the weather? What happens when man awakes at dawn and all the plants won’t? What will we do for beauty then? What happens when daylilies should smile but don’t? Because of neglect by both women and men Superstition will mean nothing for all the ladders we’ve walked under And all the mirrors broken in the name of our legacy “Grandma, why did all the flowers you describe have to die?” And our only logical response would be because of lunacy Yet mankind continues to try and silence the thunder When the thunder only gets angry and starts a forest afire There won’t be enough things to run under And believe me, this wasn’t Mother Nature’s desire What happens when our children and grandchildren begin asking why? What happens when our honest answers are nil? If we look toward the heavens you’ll only see a raging sky Because we cfalsely blame tsunamis, hurricanes and whatever else mankind can kill The Mideast is meddling in business they don’t belong and so are we But all of us seniors should claim responsibility instead of playing golf We need tens of millions of people to finally admit we made this be And didn’t we learn anything from blood in Viet Nam and that war in the gulf? So next time your child or grandchild sits upon your lap And gently drops into dreams with tightly closed eyes Next time you lay your little one down for a nap Before you say “sleep well,” you should say “we all apologize” © 2011.….Phreepoetree
