The child looks at everything with an open mind And smiles a smile both innocent and kind The deer gently bows, and drinks water by the stream And it, and all around it, seems so beautiful, serene The trees stand tall, green and full And all is in a calm, peaceful lull Then along come us grown men and women Thinking we know best, are wise of life And bitter over the state we’re in Start to cut through beauty with cruelty’s knife The trees are hacked down and taken away Acres of forest left barren in a day The child is taught to be cynical, bitter and to doubt And taught prejudice, stereotype, which we should live without The deer is shot, lying in a pool of blood Can such senseless cruelty be understood? Why do we have this urge, to spoil this fair nature And harm it, destroy it, appalled at its beauty Is it because we ourselves are so sick That we want everyone and everything around us to be sick too? A horrid, frightful state See the signs Come to your natural, pure, beautiful state And be one in harmony with the pure nature around you
