WHAT MAN HAS MADE OF THE EARTH

Duane Locke

I loved her as I loved the earth,
As I loved the gold and turquoise
Of the leaf hopper on the limp leaf,
But my love of the earth
Has brought much sorrow
As I observe the earth
Being destroyed by man
Loving her has brought me
Much sorrow as I observed
How man had destroyed her.
