The Rockies
Near my home there are the most beautiful sight
called the Canadian Rocky Mountains,
They are the world known for their National Parks
that have no showy City fountains.
Natural beauty full of just Nature without
all of the mankind’s florescent lights,
You walk around without hardly any traffic
so you can see Mother Earth’s sights.
The Mountains have been here it seems from
the beginning of our human time,
What we do to them with all the construction
of manmade objects is such a crime.
We seem to be unable to leave Mother Nature
alone without the Laws made by man,
This is not what Mother Nature had wanted
nor was it in her long range plan.
If this is what was planned for them the places
for them would naturally be clear,
Not done by bulldozers and trucks because of our
need to grow when we became near.
We blew great holes in them to put in our own
railroads and highways for easy travel,
Making the natural rock crumble into our own
small but useful building gravel.
If mankind knew then what we know now they still
would have begun all this destruction,
Only because we could not live without all of our
own needy building construction.
With all the gas fumes which kills all of Nature’s
generous beauty for there to be seen,
We should leave thy Mother Earth alone to show
what has always and should have been.
