EARTH YEAR
The bear runs back into the woods
away from the big trash can
The groundhog sticks his head out and says "There will be three more years of
winter before I come out in the sun."
First there were the floods and fires
but we couldn't hear the noise
Now the virus takes the human because we don't understand
That Nature needs a flippin' break
And not just the dolphins who dive with so much poise
But the bees, the birds, the land itself, the sea, the sky
And so much more
It came on silently and never made a noise
The air is clear, let's keep it pure
We don't have to do so much, consume so much
Let's get in touch with the Earth's heartbeat
While we can, do right by our planet with all of its natural joys.
