Does Anyone Agree With Me That Oxygen Is An Essential

THE HANDIWORK OF MOTHER FUC>>>>>>NO, I MEAN MOTHER NATURE I used to sit right here complimenting Mother Nature on her handiwork Please excuse me momentarily for I have some coffee to perk Okay, now where was I, oh yes I was talking about nature now soiled And damn it, my coffee over-boiled So as I was saying I used to sit here complimenting every rose Platitudes I knew they wanted to hear, like she’s the most beautiful bud that grows This very spot was a sanctuary for any bird who spotted a place for him to bathe and drink They thought me, quite frankly, philanthropic, or at least that’s what I think Squirrels used to seed the lawn with peanuts, cookies and bread Buried for when the lion blows in lest they all be dead Some were gregarious, some of them were shy But I remember this one particular squirrel I named “Guy” He’d come in my lap and dare me not to think him cute He was adorable with well stuffed cheeks to boot I look back on those days as dream colored fantasies Where there is no sickness, illness nor disease Those squirrels no longer dig up that which let’s them live And besides, because of carcinogens in the air I have no peanuts to give But birds to bathe in polluted water filled with bugs I’m telling you man, the important thing to save is the planet and forget a losing war on f*****g drugs © 2011.….Phreepoetree ~free cee~!

Loved "Guy" as well as the last quatrain. The most pressing of matters upon man today is to save our haven, our sanctuary, our mother Earth. War only devastates. We as humans certainly can think better than that.
