Fight the Apathy of Man

All fairness follows without policy of life
beyond it is unknown to receive the word.
Can you believe the surety of misconception?
Do you stand up for every tree that grows upon this earth?
Every forest has its purpose and its right;
for every cell of every tree, time is allotted.

Go forth and risk the darkest earth’s eternal soul,
hear every creature’s cry for help (some whispers).
Independent though we seem, only together will we
jump past the negativity of this invasion:
knotweed and blackberry, to name a few.
Loss of prairie grasses and tundra corrupt

man’s apathy, to witness those that ‘just do
not care’ increase in number every day.
Only knowledge fills the trough,
passing on the hard-fought wisdom,
quest for reverence, allowance of the
ripeness within each leaf and stem.

Search and boldly search again for
tests to pass, rules to keep to, heroes who
understand that leaders must be truly harsh,
violently so as to force the masses
weary from the battle for our home.
Xena, fight this battle with us!
Yet this is the only home we’ll ever know; earth’s
Zenith is where the prize awaits us all.
