a new pledge of allegiance
i pledge allegiance to the Earth, the precious sphere that gave me birth; and to the waters and the air, that every day sustain me there; and to the animals and plants, that lift my spirits when they dance; and every season, every weather, rain, hail and wind and sun together; and lastly, from each dawn to dawn, the very ground i walk upon-- i'll fight for it for all i'm worth! i pledge allegiance to the Earth.
