And here in sunset's final rays
I hear the blackbird's call
And feel the soft spring breeze's touch
And I marvel at it all
The hand of God created this
As it created man
Who seems intent on fouling up
God's vast eternal plan
To live and simple let live
Is the one thing man can't do
He can't believe that other things
Have a right to be here too
He has to spray or cut or burn
Each living thing on earth
Especially if he cannot find
Each thing's commercial worth
It angers me the legacy
That man will leave behind
A devestated poisoned earth
For our children and our kind
Should God and Nature soon revolt
It would be no great surprise
It's little more than man deserves
To be cut down to size!

Angry, but good. Change the things you can change, and forget the rest. It isn't yours to do. If you are on your path, you will be too busy to worry about what you can't change.
