A Day For Solar Power!

I realize I should be blogging about
Where I was 50 years ago
When Neil and Buzz got out
And, wandered the moon, yo
But, I do remember and everyone
Else is talking that today
So, it's hot I'm talking sun
And, here's my say...

Today seems like a really good day

To ask why more solar panels aren't in play

Our nearby star feels super hot

Whether out in direct radiation or not

It's 96.5 in my woods, in the shade

But, cool inside, got it made

My batteries have a full charge

Free energy, living large

But, I want more panels out back

Want to fully power the tire shack

Why don't we all have panels on the roof

Dominion & Exxon don't want the truth

To get out

Because there's no doubt

Corporations don't want us free

To produce our own energy

But, we can

So understand

How simple it would be

If your roof produced your energy

If you had a meter inside

Reading out your energy ride

If you could see how much you save

By flipping off the switch, you'd rave

Our roofs can produce our power

Or hot water for the shower

Cut out the energy middle man

It's a fairly simple plan

Build panels, put them on our roofs

Early, hook up to grid, don't be aloof

Share your power, lower your bill

But, add batteries to store your power spill

We'd never have to build a new power plant

And, yes, energy giants would rant

But, who cares about those greedy pigs

Let them look for new, nicer gigs

We need AWARENESS of our needs

Once aware, it's easy for new seeds

To take hold, grow and change

From bottom up, we can rearrange

The planet!

Go shopping less, dump walmart

Buying their chinese crap ain't smart

What a waste, amazon shipping

Cardboard, gasoline; hear the carbon dripping

It's all the human earth extraction

Hidden from first world interaction

Fueling war, driven by greed

Pushing away our simple needs

Clean air, water & healthy foods

Quiet, peace & loving attitudes

Do you need your meals in a box?

Laced with salt, sugar, fat; trio pox

Solar panels are getting cheaper

They are the 21st century sleeper

Hop on board, check 'em out

Let give corporate America the rout

Buy local, be nice

Mute commercials, smile twice

At everybody

Today On Earth

And, good luck staying cool!
