Green and blue planet
Chokes, and feels nausea
Senses a tumor
Multinational
Says it's as green as can be
But we know better
Newspaper reports
Skinny bears up north, poisoned
Lake Superior
Never back down when
Standing up for your planet
Or for your people
That last verse paraphrases something I heard Natalie Pa'apa'a say at last year's Winnipeg jazz festival.

Great music, love reggae, never gets old. Was that your writing? Whoever wrote it, excellent.
