Listen to the first people will you( you might learn something)

Silence was a word
few had adopted
anyone who knows me
knows that I
am seldom silent
thats because I have a lot to say
maybe I should be silent
anyway

but we must learn to realise
that Nature has a way
of creating all we ever need
really all we can say
is thank you, and the first people
were good at that for they
lived out in the open
and their gods knew the way

when white man lost his bottle
and crushed them in the ground
the environment was pristine
and that was all around
the sparkling streams
the flourishing fish
the wild game everywhere
the grasses and the wild flowers
and the wild fruits all did share

the first people understood so much
because they were alive
closer to their mother
thats how they did survive
not all decked out in concrete
with plastic flowers and trees
and GM foods and clonal broods
and a dying race of Bees

they understood how nature worked
and worked with her and they
helped her there was no destruction
and arrogance at play
we should have learned a great deal
from them
but we chose to say
we know bloody everything
and you savages can pay

and still now the vast corporates
snub the first people, who
know more about the natural world
than the whole monsanto crew
the arrogance the ugliness the vileness
its the trait
of banksters and their hoodlum friends
to open every gate

and let out all the goodness
to scatter here and there
to be eaten up by horror
and the squalid dark despair
that comes from sick controllers
who haven’t got a clue
who know nothing about true balance
and what we all should do
