“
Number 39: The good old days
We imagine a Golden Age
The air was pure
The earth was our solid foundation
Our spirit was strong calm and focused
The land was fertile and radiant with life
Living things lived in ecological health
And we could trust the ones who govern us
Today that balance is lost
The sky is polluted
Climate change is dangerous
The earth is contaminated with chemicals and radiation
Our spirit is broken and the social fabric rent apart with division
Agriculture for profit is eliminated necessary ecological diversity
Entire species become extinct on a daily basis
And no one trusts the government
The solution lies in a return to simplicity and openness
Our leaders can no longer rule while being cut off from the needs of
The Earth the Sky the Land the Plants the Animals the Ecology and the People
That they govern
They must rule from oneness, not from the lust for more power
They must let themselves feel the suffering
Of the orphaned, the widowed, the helpless
And they must seek to serve the everything”
