April is National Poetry Month. And the planet is suffering, humans are suffering, the nation is suffering, humans are suffering, beings of all kinds are suffering. I took some liberties with the following posted poem. I think Pete Seeger and Joe Hickerson would have written lyrics for our current situation!
Consequences of Koyaanisqatsi: a Lamentation (Life out of balance-a Native American Hopi word) (Dedicated to Pete Seeger & Joe Hickerson)
Where have all the flowers gone The flowers gone The flowers gone Where have all the flowers gone Under concrete everyone When will we ever learn Ever learn Ever learn
Where have all the forests gone The forests gone The forests gone Where have all the forests gone Burned to ashes everyone When will we ever learn Ever learn Ever learn
Where have all the grasslands gone The grasslands gone The grasslands gone Where have all the grasslands gone Gone to desert every one When will we ever learn Ever learn Ever learn
Where have all the oceans gone The oceans gone The oceans gone Where have all the oceans gone Full of acid every one When will we ever learn Ever learn Ever learn
Where have all the species gone The species gone The species gone Where have all the species gone To extinction every one When will we ever learn Ever learn Ever learn
Where have all the humans gone The humans gone The humans gone Where have all the humans gone Joined the species every one When will we ever learn Ever learn Ever learn
Where has all the concrete gone The concrete gone The concrete gone Where has all the concrete gone Sprouting flowers in the sun No time then left to learn No time to learn No time to learn
