The Bobcat And The Damage Done- with profuse apologies to Neil Young

I took a drive to the grocery store
I saw the red fox I had watched before
Dead... gone... the damage done


I went to the meadow to ease the pain
Another wild land easily swept away
Gone.. gone.. the damage done
 

Once a meadow... soon a soccer field

The trail, partially stoned

Once thick brush... now...?

I lived a life since nineteen-fifty-nine
I watched the deer as they passed me by
They are gone and so am I....

I sing the song because I loved the land
I know that those in charge don't understand
let it alone, to keep from running out...

I've seen the bobcat and the damage done
a little part of it in every one
but every forest's like a setting sun....
