Celebrate Earth Day!
Be free with your love for air, water, and earth.
Let your spirit dance wild in the wind.
Drink the pure H2O from the ground
And play with dirt, observing invertebrates
Respect resources as living and essential elements
Of our unique environment
Bask in the vastness of the atmosphere
And the peculiarity of this planet
Truly, no planet B—
So please think twice before swatting a bee
So please consume less
So please let those dinosaurs stay fossilized
So please DIVEST
Truly, no planet B—
So please invest in circular economies
So please invest in clean energy and nature-based solutions
So please compost and eat less meat
Let your admiration of a tree trunk run wild
Today and every day
Eco over ego,
Eco over ego.
Use the reusable cup
Use cold water over hot for washing
And buy polyester-less clothing
Eco over ego
Eco over ego
Let your heart and mind fill with the spirit of nature
Let the wise and traditional ecological knowledge
Spray at colonialism like an elephant with generations of place-based
Understanding of this microclimate and habitat
Because we are nature
So listen to her
Because we are nature
So listen to her
Vote vote vote for all vertebrates
And live in ecolibrium ~
