Steel yourself whilst steeping cups of tea

My message I hope many folks to see,

so, ponder as you sip peppermint tea.

Do you at times yearn not to shoot the breeze?

Then listen quite intently to the trees.

Lo, some who went before beset to seize,

clear-cutting, money-grabbing, if you please.

Our land in eras past was underseas

as evidenced by fossils in relief.

Shall we heed talk of fractions of degrees?

The running roughshod over vital bees?

Let’s volunteer, act on our pedigree.

React as one to guard our loyalty.
