Barbed-Wire Figurine Speaks

Barbed-Wire Figurine Speaks

"It speaks of loss of forests, valleys, grasslands,

in their prime in the hands of early humans."- avr

Figurine (14" tall) made of barbed wire and tree relics of World War II,

It speaks not of war among brothers as enemies,

but war between man and nature in our midst.

It speaks not of trophies and medals of victory,

but nature's defeat by man's greed and folly.

It speaks not of an arch commemorating honor,

but a crumbling one, of a long forgotten valor.

It speaks of loss of forests, valleys, grasslands,

in their prime in the hands of early humans.

It speaks not of rivers flowing onto the field;

but of yield not enough to meet people's need.

It speaks of Nature as silent as Carson's spring,

at a season the birds would arrive and sing.

It speaks of high-tech, not in simple language,

a program people can understand and gauge.
