HEART CITIES

All of my cities

have minimal bots

and digital presence

has decreased by lots

cuz I’ve made them simply

to cater to tots

of human genetics

that need EARTHen plots

to ground with the soil

and use Solar watts

to power their minds

which technology rots,

and we LIVE WITH NATURE

in ways we’ve forgot,

and no pesti poisons like

weed paraquat

sneak into our systems

as cancer we bought,

and TRUTH REIGNS SUPREME

like a virus we’ve caught

as LOVE IS OUR BOND

and our UNITY KNOT

and HOPE IS A SEED

that we grow in a POT

OF GOLD like THE SUN

that the snake couldn’t blot

right out of our sky

with a failed fatal shot

cuz NATURAL LAW RULES

as a shield that we’ve got,

and HORUS flies high

as THE EYE that I dot

HELPING KIDS DISCOVER BUGS!

“Insects are often seen as creepy, crawly, and gross, but they are also fascinating, diverse, and important for the environment. Letting kids get closer to (non-harmful) insects can assist their development, curiosity, and empathy.”

PETITION


Give bees a voice with your representatives!

Bee-protective legislation flowing from the top down helps a great deal in terms of preservation of habitat, regulation of pesticides, and listing of bee species as endangered (and subsequent remediation efforts).


HELP raise awareness about the need to support pollinators and reduce the use of pesticides by ordering a yard sign and display it proudly, either in your yard or your community.
