I want a drink of clean water, with nothing but what nature put there. I want to see ducklings that do not have three eyes or deformed wings. I want to be able to see the bottom of a deep pool where fish swim and I can dive in and join them. I would like to water my garden and not have my corn wither and die. All in the name of profit and money, this is the daily norm. No one cares about their neighbors, they only care about themselves. Its not until the children get sick and die does someone have enough. Then money is offered in the place of life, to buy silence if it is offered at all. So as the earth cries out and children get sick and die, I ask one more time, please don't poison me.
