Selfishness - we are colonized

 

 

The loon cries

from the lonesome lake,

here in Maine,

the haunting,

but beautiful call

of life and love.

 

But the sound of the loon is not enough for everyone.

 

Some want to bottle the water the loon lives on.

 

Others want the land around the lake,

for their 'cottages'

which turn into 3-story mansions.

 

Something must be done 

with all that $$$,

gained by 

misbegotten deeds.

Corporate thievery.

 

We are colonized people,

watching the corporate approved news

on our flat-screen TV's.

 

Trees must be chopped down 

and minerals dug,

toxic runoff

kills the fish

and the loon.

 

Humanoids

are not immune either,

as they like to imagine.

Always must have more,

never satisfied,

never content,

always more,

the Moon and the night sky too...
