I slept and dreamt,
Of the greenest Earth,
I awoke and felt,
The prevailing dearth
I dreamt of trees,
Then woke up to plant them
Stung by political bees,
But soldiered on; devoid of shame
Now that I'm gone,
Of more trees do plant,
Here; the torch that my path shone,
The song of eco-warriors forever chant!
