It is Silent ----No motors roaring; No sirens blaring; No voices lent To cheers or shouts.
Where has the noise gone? Does this speak of peace? What is left in this place? Elimination one by one Of species vast and rare.
Nature has reclaimed the earth. She sees survival now; As elimination of too much somehow To give the earth rebirth And start anew the sound.
Spring may come anew With many smaller groups. Living things in the loop, Keeping the skies clear blue So breath is not a challenge.
Birds will sing again, And animals roam the woods; Humans will know the good Of saving all nature’s claims--Best to save it now! To have no more Silent Springs!
