Dirty Business
DIRTY BUSINESS
Too much pollution
In our air, in our water
In our politics

“There is the path of wisdom and the path of ignorance. They are far apart and lead to different ends … Abiding in the midst of ignorance, thinking themselves wise and learned, fools go aimlessly hither and thither like the blind led by the blind. What lies beyond life shines not to those who are childish, or careless, or deluded by wealth. ”
– Katha Upanishad,

The flag we wave flies
Free from red, blue, stars and stripes
At home on the wind
