Just read a local news article about the wanton killing of those innocent and intrepid travelers, the snow geese.

Why so many deaf,
so many dead ones walking,
unfeeling, spilling gasoline,
howling like dogs,
breaking their
wheeled toys,
spreading bloody destruction?

Why aren't they
true men,
walking with open
eyes, ears,
listening to the
wind, the trees,
knowing the sky,
the life
beyond macadam?
Why trash
Irreplaceable?

Are they not inheritors
of the Great Prize--
this New World?
They should walk
softly, marveling,
these younger brothers,
as did those from whom
their ancestors
stole the land--
The People.
