    penance

    no cause for
    singing and dancing
    and all that jazz
    you made the earth cry
    let broadway die

    amazon stock raised
    amazon razed
    for stock
    bellies fattened
    rainforest starved
    let the cafes close

    crowds rave
    in ecstasy
    nature moans
    in agony
    let the parties end

    Gerard Manley Hopkins - 1844-1889


    Glory be to God for dappled things—
    For skies of couple-colour as a brinded cow;
    For rose-moles all in stipple upon trout that swim;
    Fresh-firecoal chestnut-falls; finches' wings;
    Landscape plotted and pieced—fold, fallow, and plough;
    And all trades, their gear and tackle and trim.

    All things counter, original, spare, strange;
    Whatever is fickle, freckled (who knows how?)
    With swift, slow; sweet, sour; adazzle, dim;
    He fathers-forth whose beauty is past change:
    Praise Him.

    I push the eco mode button on my car when I am taking the recycling. Most of the time, however, I don't.
