WE ARE ONE

               To live with wild animals would
                    delight and titillate the senses
               Like Romulus and Remus nutured
                     by a mother wolf
                To roam with wolf brethren over
                    a moon-swept landscape
               To mingle with migrating caribou
                     on their long journey
               Or fish the mighty rivers with the
                     nearsighted grizzy bear
                An uncomplicated world of the 
                     senses we have lost----
                     or never attained
               They do not gather material
                       possessions or pray to
                       invisible Gods
               They do not create weapons of
                      destruction, or pollute the
                       very air they breathe
                Yet, we are destroying their world
                       with our earth-shattering
                        machines
                 For millennium before us they
                         lived in harmony with Earth
                 If we destroy them
                 We destroy ourselves.........
