»The Environment is my Extended Body«

by Shirley Joan Von Weichardt

As is the universe,
So am I -
As is the earth
So am I.
Destroy the trees -
I axphixiate.
Destroy the waters -
I dehydrate.
Destroy the ionosphere,
And I expire
For as the earth is
So am I.

[Inspired by these words of Deepak Chopra]
