Unlike wood from deforestation,

nuclear power from radiation

oil from earth's devastation

coal from air and water pollution

nonviolent energy is the solution

With power inslides

the oncoming tide

With power the waves

flow into the caves

The giving wind's flow

makes propellers go.

With heat geothermals

warm earth's epidermals

radiant energy machines

can make the earth green

One needn't build a violent dam

to harness the roaring waterfall.

The allblessing blazing sun

is available to everyone

 *

Footnote:

Wind, solar, geothermal, tide, wave

and radiant energy machines

are some of the many nonviolent

energy sources which can save

our planet
