One second concrete
Next second marsh.
One moment forest lush,
The next moment pavement harsh.
Cookie cutter neighborhoods
They like to call preserves -
Named like goodwill to the earth
That none of us deserves.
Protected land all set aside
For nesting birds who need to fly,
Then rockets that send shockwaves
That knock whole flocks out of the sky.
I want to see the bright stars too.
I do want us to land on Mars.
But I can't help but look around
At the planet that's still ours.
