Question

As asphalt and concrete

Replace bushes and trees,

As highways and buildings

Replace marshes and woods,

What will replace

The song of the birds?

Dreamer

I dreamt I was an ocean

And no one polluted me.

I dreamt I was a whale

And no hunters chased after me.

I dreamt I was the air

And nothing blackened me.

I dreamt I was a stream

And nobody poisoned me.

I dreamt I was an elephant

And nobody stole my ivory.

I dreamt I was a rainforest

And no one cut down my trees.

I dreamt I painted a smile

On the face of the Earth

For all to see.
