GO FORTH AGAIN!
I AM OF THE 21 ST CENTURY LOOKING FORWARD GOING FORWARD
NO LONGER CONTENT WITH WHAT HAS GONE BEFORE…
I WILL WORK FOR BETTER TIMES “CAUSE WE BUILT
THIS CIVILIZATION BURNING FOSSIL FUELS”.
WHAT WE GOT IS HOT! WHAT WE HAVE IS ALL WE NEED FOR COOL.
WINDS BLOW! SUNLIGHT SHINES! AND DEEP ROCK IS HOT!
SO WE STRIKE OUT FOR A FERTILE WORLD!
A NEWER MIGHTIER WORLD
THE ONE WE WILL MAKE TO OUR LIKING.
FOR AFTER THE DIGGING AND BURNING AND PLANET HEATING COMES
A GENTLE PLENTY.
A BETTER TOMORROW WHEN WE WALK SOFTLY WITH LOVE ON OUR
GREEN EARTH
CARE FOR THE PLAINS AND MOUNTAINS FOR OUR PLANET’S
ETERNAL PROMISE. A PROMISE OF FREEDOM AND PLENTY.
GO FORTH YOUNG AND OLD.
GO FORTH AGAIN!
Altered from Walt Whitman, America, 1888
