Compassionate Choices

Compassionate Choices
(An Earth Day Rondeau)
Jessica Marie

Look up to the azure sky and see
the way the sun shines, rising fees;
we need to make compassionate choices,
and for the slaughtered, fur and bark, a voice
against fracking, pollution and oil field free!

Start your own aviary and follow honey bees,
landing on nature's beauty, swaying in breeze-
NO MORE MONSANTO! NO DEATH! we rejoice.
Look up to the azure sky and see.

Sail the oceans and watch Japan succeed,
mercury and radiation make colourful fish flee
and to the world Aquariums like Baltimore, a noise
of sustainability, but only if Jessicas and Joyces
and Pauls and Jamies would realize education is key-
look up the azure sky and see the carbon footprints.
