“Earth Day 2009”
O! Where has our natural capital gone?
Where are the trees that recycle
our air as they breath deeply in
spring as leaves burst forth from buds?
O! Where has our natural capital gone?
Where is the dark rich soil that grows
our food and cycles death
into life?
O! Where has our natural capital gone?
Where is the clean water that refreshes
the body and provides habitat
to aquatic splendors?
O! Where has our natural capital gone?
Where are the species that surprise
us with color and beauty,
not to mention potential remedies and cures?
O! Won’t you tell me,
where has natural capital gone?
