Once you stop seeing nature as a place full of conscious spirit you stop seeing the wonder in the world. Your own soul will become sick. I look to the mountains and see them covered in cell towers. I lift up my eyes and can’t see the stars because of light pollution.
That is why I wrote the following 3X3 Triad Poem in 2006:
For The Betterment Of Our Lives:
– We Shall Poison The Rivers,
– Fill The Air With Smoke,
– And Consume Toxic Waste.
To Improve The Lot Of Humanity:
– We Shall Kill Other Species,
– Pave Over Our Ancestors,
– And Tear Up The Sky.
In Order To Create Civilizations:
– We Cut Down Our Forests,
– Pollute The Air,
– And Dig Up The Earth.
————————————————————
To Prove We Have Dominion Over The Earth:
– We Draw Borders Between Us,
– Destroy What Is Natural,
– And Reshape It For Our Own Uses.
We Feel That It Is Important:
– To Be Wealthy and Greedy
– To be Pompous,
– And Vane.
The Waters Of Our Lakes And Oceans:
– Are Fished Out,
– Used For Atomic Waste Dumps,
– And Damned For Our Uses.
————————————————————————
For The Sake Of Our Children:
– We Shall Fill The Land With Garbage,
– Clean Our Homes With Death,
– And Breathe Radiation.
Many Years From Now Our Grandchildren:
– Will Have No Food To Eat,
– No Water To drink,
– And No Air To Breathe.
They’ll Look At Their,
– Chemical Houses,
– Plastic Shopping Malls,
– And Artificial Forests.
