Going Green

Pain that builds in intensity
So many wounds to the heart
Our mother worn from assault
The earth doomed from the start?

The hour for healing is passing
Perhaps out best efforts to late
But we keep hope in the drumbeat
With sacrifice the rewards are great.

To try with each day of living
To cleanse and repair the earth
Each small effort is helping
Each green act has worth...


When feasable, please try to buy in bulk..saves packaging, (trees) and other resources.
