“Harness nature.” You’ve heard that, too.
Maybe even said it.
Nature was made for us to use.
We own it all and we can choose
which forests to chop and burn.
The lakes are there to run our mills,
the bottom line demands it.
See all those rolling, wooded hills?
A year from now they’ll all be filled
with beautiful mid-priced homes.
I don’t know why you worry so.
It’s just a tree, you know.
Progress means we build and grow.
Think of the many things that show
the economy’s benefits.
So sorry, friend, I have go go.
The dozer’s on the way.
We’ve got to block the river’s flow
in order for those trees to go.
Isn’t progress great!
