ConvictionWell driving home I was inspired to write a new song. I've been long wanting to have a song about Treebeard, an environmentalist song in particular. You see, I love the wilderness. I love the trees. I love the earth. But sadly enough, I've not really stuck my neck out to really start taking care of the earth I love.
In Dungeons & Dragons, I'd consider myself Neutral Good. I'm pretty neutral about a lot of things, but sometimes I left apathy take advantage of me. I see the world as very cyclical. On the one hand, I don't hold much faith in the whole Greenhouse Effect. To me, the earth will take care of itself. If we start destroying the ozone, the earth will fight back. I mean, forty years ago they said that the temperatures around the world would drop. And now, they're rising.
But that attitude really is foolish. God blessed us with an amazing planet for us to cherish. But I don't think He meant for us to destroy it. So I'm gonna use this newly inspired song to inspire me to start recycling, to start making a difference.
Long time ago, I joined the Sierra Club. Well I rejoined today. And I'm gonna get off my arse and drop by their next meeting. If you share my love of the earth. Take a moment to drop by and make a donation.
But for me, right now, I want to make a difference. And I'll start with a song: The Heart of FangornLong before men tread Middle-Earth,
Before the dwarves and elves gave birth,
There sprouted a race for the trees' defense
In the heart of Fangorn, there live the Ents.
Patiently they care for the woods.
They quietly listen as it behooves
To hear the arbors' laments and wails
From falling axes and tearful trails.
For Living Creatures all roam the land,
But hasty judgements lead to careless hands.
One thoughtless word from a thoughtless king
They ponder the death of a thousand things.
The rivers will flow though their course may change.
The birds are born and will fly away.
Men will come and men will go,
But the Ents remain longer than the falling snow.

Well
if you have any questions, I'd be happy
to answer those as well.
