Just thinking things over,shadows playing across my mind
Like a vision from a dream coming silently to me from a far a way time.
I see the characters play their games always scheming trying to win but never winning.
The plots they plan the deceptions they keep
It's enough to make an honest person weep
Can their lies get bigger, bolder yet?
I can almost hear them yell "Get Your Snake OIL right here"
guaranteed to cure!!
Our country our world and the future too
deserves our best nothing less will do
To burn our forests, cut down the trees,
take the breath from the birds and the bees.
Now it seems our frozen north must sacrifice it's
virgin land - the black blood of the land is needed
nothing we say or plead will be heeded.
As much compassion as a human can show will not stem
the tide of the future to come.
Imagine a land where nothing will grow, sunlight burns
through almost till midnight.
The land lies fallow, the worms, the bees are no more
Man had plowed his last field and it's a terrible sight
Heat is intense, the ice caps are melting, the oceans
rise with each moon fall...cities are empty...mountains
are crowded.
Mother earth does fight back, hurricanes, tidal waves
and earthquakes shows her fury...for our treatment of
her I would not want her to be judge and jury.
I fear for the future the little ones yet to be
See the shadows across my mind wishing that we all
might be yet saved.....wondering what will be?

Very well said after the other nights performance! Our world is getting scarey and your entry sums up the twinge of pain I feel for our ominous future "shadows playing across my mind" Thanks for sharing..courtenaymphelan
Sad but true. Have our leaders become so shortsighted not to realize the dangerous tradeoff they offer?... A few years more of oil for generations of wilderness never to be recovered. In all the latrest hype about high gas prices, I've yet to hear much spoken about conservation and alternative energy sources. It's all about who'se "fueling" the debate. Thanks for the thought provoking words.
Thank you for sharing this vision. So true and beautifully displayed for our minds to remember.
