The First Byte To Resolution

The first byte to resolution
is a seed – plant it where its
chance of growth would
seem impaired by human
greed and rank despair

plant it where we wont
restrain our manic growth
plant it in the barren earth
we soured by sloth and
indolence for easy gold

plant it where our bold and
anxious leaders have their say
help them find another way
to lead – they claim there is no
other path but that which

brought us here – a path
destroying atmosphere they
will arrange to palliate by
change to nuclear energy
which doesn’t heat the air.

We can’t sustain a future
based on annual growth
no matter what philosophy
substantiates our strife – we
need a change for life…
