Why Should I Care?

We know the truth.  The Wind Developers know the truth.  Wouldn’t it be refreshing if they just came out and told the truth?

I know it’s wrong

But I really don’t care

It isn’t my home

I don’t live up there

 

I’m making money

Stealing Tax Payer’s green

And I don’t live there

You know what I mean

 

I know it’s wrong

To kill bats and birds

To slaughter them all

Like the old cattle herds

 

Lemmings and Mayflies

Deer and Bear too

I won’t let them keep me

From what I want to do

 

I know it’s wrong

To mud up the brooks

But we don’t give a damn

Me, and my fellow crooks

 

The Trout and the Salmon

And the Fisherman too

They’ve no right to keep me

From what I want to do

 

I know it’s wrong

To de-value the land

But to torment the locals

Is all part of the plan

 

If they can’t live there

Then they’ll move away

With no neighbors to scream

LURC is easy to sway

 

I know it’s wrong

To destroy local jobs

But I don’t give a damn

For those local slobs

 

I’ll just tell them ‘it’s green’

And smile and grin

I’ll promise them jobs

While their children grow thin

 

I know it’s wrong

To steal Public Money

But this new wind scam

Is all milk and honey

 

I can rape Mountains

And defile the hills

As long as I say

‘it stops oil spills’

 

I know it’s wrong

To lie and to cheat

But it’s my turn to suck

From the Government teat

 

The Tax Payers pay

And so does the land

By calling it ‘green’

I get a free hand

 

I know it’s wrong

To call a thing ‘green’

That destroys the environment

It’s really obscene

 

But we simply don’t care

My partners and me

We’re just here for the money

As I’m sure you can see

 

I know it’s wrong

To betray Public trust

But you must understand

How for power I lust

 

Now we’ve got to hurry

We’ve got to be slick

I’m afraid that the people

Are on to our trick

 

I know it’s wrong

But I really don’t care

It isn’t my home

I don’t live up there

    …painfully, beautifully written. Publish these!

  2. Penny Gray says:

    Dave, your poems need to be put to music. It would be wonderful to have someone playing on a folk guitar at the Maine Mountain Heritage Project Picnic this summer at Center Hill…and singing your songs.

  3. Thank you, both.

    Dorie, there is actually a book in the works. Look for an announcement with the details coming soon.

    Penny, If you know someone who can play a guitar, I’d be happy to provide the basic material. A ‘windy’ picnic at Center Hill sounds like a great way to spend a summer day!
