How much do I need?
I suppose all of it would be enough
All of it here, all of it everywhere
Bring me all the fish in the ocean
All the birds in the sky
Bring me all the trees
And all the vegetation
Bring me all the soil
All the precious stones
Bring me all the rhinos
All the whales and dolphins
Bring me all the corral reefs
All the oil and rain forests
Bring me all the bees and flowers
All the elephants and tigers
Bring me all the mountain gorillas
Bring me the last of them
Bring me the skulls of children
To drink all the water from
Bring me your souls
In parcels of silence
Bring me this precious moment
In which you stand by watching
Bring me enough
To keep this extinction trail going
Littered with the bones of the future
Bring me everything
Until I have it all
Though it will never be enough
