we pave her pastures for fast food and highways
fill her oceans with oil and poison and trash
cut down her timber and strip mine her mountains
sell all her beauty for a hand full of cash
the native americans knew we were crazy
with our fences and killing and relentless waste
when momma’s not happy ain’t nobody happy
right now mother earth has a frown on her face
it’s a microwave meltdown from nation to nation
volcanoes and earthquakes, tornadoes and floods
but we’ve got our instant gratification
with one foot in the grave and one stuck in the mud
common sense is a virtue that’s dead on the vine
we need to wake up before it’s too late
when momma’s not happy ain’t nobody happy
right now mother earth has a frown on her face

What a perfectly observant and wise blog from our twenty first century Aristotle!
You are my hero…You hit the mark with what you wrote. I love the fact that you can put into words a topic so complex and keep it simple. Well…come to think of it..you yourself personally know from being married to me…when momma ain’t happy..nobody’s happy

I suppose when the last tree is cut, the last river is either dammed or dead and the last field has been paved for a mall people will understand that you CANT EAT MONEY!
Hope that all is well in your little oasis of natural beauty…
