A Green World
Red
coals
in
a
green
world,fanning
live
embers.
The
steam
that
goes
forth
are
as
poisonous
as
peroxide,and
yet
we
sit
tight,adding
more
coal
to
the
embers.
The
steam
that
goes
forth,goes
no
farther
But
hangs
above
us
and
shall
soon
rain
on
us
more
lethal
droplets
than
the
green
gasses
we
emit.
Then
the
oceans
will
rage
andseek
propitiation
in
our
homes.
Our
landscape
will
dry
and
our
hearts
shall
dry
with
it.
Our
green
world
then
will
turn
red
and
shall
consume
us.
But
what
shall
become
of
our
children?
So
now,
let
us
quench
the
coals
that
burn
And
kiss
our
little
green
world,for
in
it
is
our
paradise,and
the
beauty
of
Eden's
bloom.
None
shall
we
see
if
we
search
else
where.
None
else
can
we
call
home
'cept
our
pretty
green
world
