lyrics

Old Ponderosa Lake Camp-Sight


beneath the old trees here I sit, trees
that have seen

once the People camped, living
upon this shore, a good people,

relatively few in number.

Now,
it is legal and encouraged
to act criminally

toward Nature: do it before “the next guy”
does. In the tribunal court of Nature

we moderns are all greater or lesser criminals
in our complicity with or acceptance of societal
values and actions.

Many think things
couldn’t be better now (unless wishing that they themselves
could inflict more consumption and pollution than current
financial status allows).

The old ponderosas remain solemn and silent
(like an Indian, as the white man says)
to most, but when I catch a moment of the breeze

through their needles I think I hear
their long and slow hymn;

their roots are deep,
deep beneath
these lake shores
