OLIVIA'S WALK
Olivia should walk in a redwood grove,
hear the song of a whale,
see the goofy grin of a Manatee,
see a Condor, set sail
She'll be a bright, perceptive child,
genetics have insured that,
yet, avorice and greed waste her Earth's wonders
what a tragedy is that..!
Earth's wonders plowed assunder, bespoiled and then, "theme-parked"
long dead concrete rivers,
hillsides bare and stark
Olivia's legacy should be the natural riches of this Earth,
yet, corporations grind them up,
with no thought to their deeper worth
the granduer of a redwood grove,
the mystical essence of a whale,
c'mon, Sarah Lee and Johnny,
please make your guitars wail,
wail of lost and stolen riches,
of resources ground into dust,
of dead rivers, dead oceans,
I really think you must...
invoke Olivia's Earthly birthright,
before it succumbs, to corporate lust
We all must stand and fight.
with tactics of defiaance and mirth
Olivia and all kids should inherit
the full wonder, of this Earth
Bumper/Dave NcCarty, 2003

I'll get to work on it in the next few days...Miss Em is sick with what she insists is Government Bio Warfare flu...
who knows, maybe it could be something accidentally dropped off of one of the huge ships that have been leaving our port....
14,000 service people off to sea from here in the past 2 weeks.
