Penseès

I slept and dreamt,

Of the greenest Earth

I awoke and felt,

The prevailing dearth

I dreamt of trees,

Then woke up to plant them

Stung by political bees,

But soldiered on; devoid of shame

Now that I’m gone,

Of more trees do plant

Here; the torch that my path shone,

The song of Eco-warriors do forever chant!
