The countdown to the end ticks slowly by
And Mankind has yet thought to stop and sigh.
Is this a reason not to care, a why,
We live in bedrocks of a selfish lie?
Our hand is at the tiller of mayhem
Destruction it seems will surely condemn
Mankind obsessed with greed to the brain stem
The need for change is clear to us and them
Cataclysmic shifts on our Earth demands
All of which we can at our own commands
So the Mother heals and once more expands
And we can live freely upon Her lands
It will be an end to the life we know
As needs for change are now clearly on show.
I am accused of standing for eco
Mea Culpa, I don't want our world to go
As I howl gently to the moon on high
It is for the Earth that I make my cry
Cease the destruction before time goes by
Live green save our world before we all die.

your verse comes at a crucial moment, where hurricane gustav approaches new orleans and hurricane hanna is right behind ... more than ever, your words have meaning and weight just right now, when the result of our ignorance and harmful attitude towards mother earth can be seen ...
I'm much like you, very eco, and in love with the planet ... so your verse has reached my heart immediately ...
keep on howling, precious friend, I shall join you in your song ... and let's hope that hurricanes have a heart and will listen to our pleas ...
much love,
marion
