Leave Them A Flower .

I speak on behalf of the next generation,
My sons and my daughters,
their children to come,
What will you leave them
for their recreation?
An oil slick, a pylon,
an industrial slum?

You plunder, you pillage,
You tear and tunnel,
Trees lying toppled, roots finger the sky
Building a land for
machines and computers
In the name of progress
the farms have to die .

Fish in an ocean polluted and poisoned,
The sand on the beaches
Is stinking and black .
You with your tankers,
your banks and investments
Say “Never worry
the birds will come back” .

When the last flower
has dropped its last petal,
When the last concrete is finally laid,
The moon will shine cold
on a nightmarish landscape,
Your gift to our children
the world which you’ve made .

Leave them a flower,
some grass and a hedgerow,
A hill and a valley, a vew to the sea .
These things are not yours
to destroy as you want to,
A gift given once for eternity .
