Mother Nature (60)

Mother Nature (60)

1

“Members of the jury do we need to intervene?

A land-owner used an axe that apparently wasn’t green

A thousand trees have fallen; please decide if this was mean

In his defense, should Mother Nature be ignored

For being unproductive with her hoard?”

Chorus

Mother Nature is a lady with different seeds to sow

She adores her lovely creatures and the plants she has to grow

But with every fallen forest there is grass seed to be planted

Just as long as we deny taking creation for granted

2

The land owner smiled to be patted on the back

By the jury that decided, he had taken the right tack

Since the seed he had sown was like money in a sack

It was deemed profit was progress meant to please

So stuff Mother Nature and her green trees!

Chorus

Mother Nature is a lady with different seeds to sow

She adores her lovely creatures and the plants she has to grow

But with every fallen forest there is grass seed to be planted

Just as long as we deny taking creation for granted

3

The members of the jury gravitated to their cars

Thinking of home cooking, or the stuff they sell in bars

If trees had any value, they would grow the things on Mars

And the cattle happily grazing on new grassland

Meant a fat and juicy burger in your hand

Chorus

Mother Nature is a lady with different seeds to sow

She adores her lovely creatures and the plants she has to grow

But with every fallen forest there is grass seed to be planted

Just as long as we deny taking creation for granted

The End
