Marvelous creation! Poetry sings a true message. My ancestors- the Native Americans, DID NOT LASTING HARM TO THIS NATION IN OVER 10,000 YEARS HERE. Yet white man has done so much in less than 400 years. Super 7 on this gem!

Not offhand but it sure would be a great one methinks! Google green energy companies and pitch it to them.
