What is man, Eric asks,
doing to the earth, in the game of greed and name of
progress?

ECOLOGY
by
Eric Lee Baker
trickle through this lush of
green
your steel, your wood are
bone
cutting flesh in frenzied
flashes
as the surgeons' slicing you condone
for
blood is
money
in the minds of men
fill your lungs with hot
black
death
let them speak of what's to come.....
as you take every breath
your jet black tongues obliterate
and chase away the
sun
profit and progress at any cost
now the damage has been done
with what destruction? with what despair?
could you have ravaged anymore?
the land lays split and broken
with wounds
we can't ignore!
and man, in all his ignorance
his obsessions and his
pride
did not intend for death to come
nor prepare it a place to reside
so now it rides the
continent
across the great divide
its' tracks like rotting stitches
sewn forever in its'
side.
