The Zen of Mowing


The grass grows higher

Gas I use to mow and trim

An endless cycle


Wasteful and futile

Single-celled bacteria

Consumed so quickly


Can we not leave them

Resting in the deep darkness

Using does pollute


Let the grass grow tall

Draw power from father Sol

Absorbing is free


As unseen winds blow

Tall grass does move to and fro

Windmills spin freely


This in our power to use

Pollute not mother nature
