Roy~

As long as we're on the subject of Holiday Greetings, which we wish all of
you the most Merry of Christmases and a Wonderful Millenium New Year, I had
to send you this poem, written by one of our S.O.U.L. members, whereby we
have forwarded this to every source of media in the State! Everyone is
welcomed to use it (making it "fit" their circumstances).

Have a great one everyone!
Darlene


			"A Holiday Poem"

Twas the eve of 2000, And all through the land
All the creatures were fearful of the power line plan.

Power companies wanted To build a new route,
Saying, "We need this new line!" But they encountered much doubt.

You'll ruin our health, And destroy many trees!
But the power companies refused To hear all our pleas.

At the source of this power The Cree suffering is revealed.
If the project goes through Their fate will be sealed.

To our elected officials We sent letters and petitions.
"But the decision" they said, "Is solely the commission's."

When the power companies say, "This is what we need!"
PSC, don't approve it!  Don't give into their greed!

The commission must consider An alternate solution!
There's ways to get power Without increasing pollution.

Try fuel cells and wind farms, Promote power conservation.
Build gas-fired turbines For distributed generation.

Look to the future Dear Governor Tommy!
Steel towers aren't the way To feed our economy.

I wish I could end This saga with cheer.
But there's a battle to fight Thoughout the new year.

		(with apologies to Clement Clarke Moore)


From,
S.O.U.L. (Save Our Unique Lands)
