Scammed
We have been cheated
of watching the mist on the mountains
of the every day joys
living by waterfalls and mountain fountains
of nature in all of her
majesty in daily display
Civilization has broken
a pristine earth in play
to live in the system
built of tar and cement
the struggle for its money
upon things it is spent
My joy is where lakes
and their water lilies bloom
where the prickly cactus grows
and changing seasons in each room
when the clouds are blown
like feathers about in the wind
where our considerations think
left to men it will end
Will you miss the blue parrot
neon yellow chickadee
gone the toad golden
likely too soon will the bee
the dance of courtships
where flocks move to mate
as the corporations poisons
their death is its fate
So many dead zones
now exist in our seas
left to those who now govern
the worlds bounties now seize
If you expose them
you could disappear
passed executive orders
now make this law clear
