Go Green

by @andrea-22

When recycling is in the individuals hands When each man stands to divide plastics and cans Papers, organics, and what’s in-between You’re going blue, and not going green But imagine one friar and place him on the hill And artist at heart, with ability and skill Let him claim it all... the mess as his own spill Let him devise a plan, and let him swim uphill When enlightenment in the west means paving forests into hardships Leaving fruit trees scarce, and so few berries it’s heartless Where we still shun the poor, those with little dairy And mock the young with extra weight to carry But imagine one friar and place him in a tower Ask what he would do, give him a few hours Give all the money to redistribute, land too Allow for the friar to have the power over the wealthiest few Such an exotic friar must have a heart of gold I know him, he feels like he is getting old If just knew the tower that looked over the view I’d introduce the man who would upgrade you
