Happy Birthday - Earthday (Revised)

It’s forty tears ago this month That earth day came about When it was first suggested It’s success showed lots of doubt. For many, many years According to our sources There wasn’t much concern For the Earth and it’s resources. During the 1960’s Conservationists wished to learn But womans rights and Vietnam Were much more of a concern. Our spacemen took some pictures And Earth did not look good This resulted in a movement To get it looking like it should. In 1969 off the coast of California A lot of oiled was spilled Countless fish and vegetation And animals were killed. Soon this lead to Earth Day Thanks to Denis Hayes A Harvard student who rallied people To Conservation ways. He used the mail and telephone Any means that he could get Obviously back in those days There was no Internet! Over 20 million folks took part in the very first Earth Day There were lectures, games, and concerts to help to show the way. To have success and reach our goal we must practice Conservation that will be the only way our Earth will have salvation. Ralph Taylor
