Go Green

We only have a short time left to correct the arc of the atmosphere heating up with consequences we may not even be able to adapt to. All over the planet, extinctions are starting to tell us we better hurry up and quit fooling around spending our money on the wrong things.

Go Green


Go green, go green, my son.

Don't go doin’, what we old have done.

Don't go runnin’ after greenbacks, son,

for only a short term greenback fun.


Green is good, green is fine.

Green sustains us, over long time.

But chasin’ greenbacks destroys green.

Short term wealth all burned and brown.


Green will make Mother Earth bloom again.

Green will make us healthy and wise.

No more treadmill for fortune and fame.

See health and goodness on the rise.


The long run will always be green,

but it's better if we can still be seen.

If gone from the landscape we love.

We have burned our candle clean.

When we destroy green, we destroy ourselves thanks for the reminder, Ron!

The problem is that we have a created a way of life that is unsustainable as well as questionable. You raised some important issues in this fine poem that many people still don't buy into. Perhaps they are the ones who should "burn their candle clean."

No greenback can equal the value of nature's greenery.

A timely message is given in a lyrical form that is appropriate for Nature's many workings. If only more were conscious and respectful of Nature's embrace, rather than the captivity stuff, man-made decorations of the ego. Good work here, Ron.
