NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN

Notice is hereby given

That this field, that once held the wild wood, that once hid sacred and mysterious creatures,

That once opened to fill us with food and our souls with flowers,

Must be covered in concrete.

Notice is hereby given

That the concrete will provide jobs, that no one really wants,

So we can afford affordable homes that we cannot really afford,

Where we can hide, scared and murderous, and forget the holes in our souls

Where once hid sacred and mysterious creatures.

Notice is hereby given

That the ice of the cold places is melting, that polar bears are drowning

And the birds are not returning home.

The permafrost and oceans

Are giving up their secrets and the answer is that Man’s time is ending.

Notice is hereby given.
