Busted

Governor Daniels going to cut down
Mighty trees of the backcountry
Our forests of Monroe county
Has he ever even hiked them?
Taken the time to look at what lives?
To listen to their message?

We read recently that he was
Busted for possession of Cannabis
Hashish and LSD while living
In the dorms of Princeton, 1970
So surely he must be aware
Of the wild, unspeakable worlds
That thrive beyond normal perception
He must have a memory, at least
An inkling of what it felt like
To be sensitive and open enough
To receive Nature's endless gifts.
