earth once wore vast continent wide gowns
green velvet dresses in spring flower summer
gowns in autumn gathered rust rainbow leaves
gowns ever green or strap brown bare in winter...
mother earth once wore evergreen in paradise dawn
in dawn forest virgin flesh beautified fruitful smiled
into tame wilderness young world appeared naked man
trick metal smelted soon weaons were forged war raged...
agriculture civilization were born finally industrilization
world resources reaped wasted as mines were dug deep
forests felled pollution poison imposed earth sterilization
animals hunted extinct tress plants burned earth ash weep...
sadly over history last dark centuries mother earth purity
has been severely soiled last few decades process stupidity
has increased with an alarming accelerating mindless intensity...
