Though I would be among the first to argue

That earth day should be an everyday view

I would also be among the first to encourage

others to partake of the beauty with courage

Courage enough to stand for what is right

And in so doing protect every precious sight

All of the plants and animals that live here

Are those that belong and we should gather near

Gathered into the safety of our loving arms

Safe from our accidental and intentional harms

Once was a time when we feared beasts back then

Until it turned out the worse beasts had faces of men

And now we must preserve what is left of paradise

So that our children’s children have things just as nice
