Information on closing
When we silence the noise, of our electric clock
wake-up, turn on lights, and our coffee pot
Should we feel shame, for what we have done
or in blissful ignorance, greet the morning sun
millions of people perform this ritual everyday
Without thought of consequence, just time saved
Some men, wives and children seek only to survive
others use time to plunder and destroy all alive
The path of life's maze fixed by our choices in life
nescient of truth, all choice will lead us to strife
Kept weak, hopeless, fearful, no query is raised
Is it apathy or a delusion, men take to their grave
dregs of the waste, have defiled air, sea and sand
befouled Gods heaven, killing both plant and man
A priority, we created, pillaged humanity on earth
Pantology repressed, only to seed arrogance not mirth
The people's voices muted, because of some men's greed
but, questions persist, and now we all must take heed
I am only a farmer, tasked with planting some seed
as a caretaker of land, my life is to cultivate and weed
An estimate, of 60 years needed to decontaminate the land
What men built, planting their nuclear seed in the sand
Take time to think, talk and inquire of all that is planned
Please put, a pen to paper, instead of heads in the sand
The future life of plants, animals and the humanity of men
Rests in The Peoples Voices and Words from their pen
