Nature Needs Help
If I drove to the mountain top,
could I talk to God?
If He spoke when I reached
would He say I treat the planet odd?
If I swam to the ocean floor,
could I talk to a squid?
If he spoke to me when we met
would he speak of the damage I did?
If I flew to the trees to visit the birds,
could I speak with an eagle?
If he spoke to me when we met
would smog render his voice less regal?
If I slunk down to the grasses
what would I say to the snake?
If I tried to speak to him when we met
could he talk back, or did our DDT remake?
If I were like a Doolittle I would talk to all,
to find how we have hurt the Earth.
I would take that knowledge and teach all people,
to preserve and share this world from birth.
