You will find rednecks like me everywhere amongst every race and creed <br />We are not on the endangered list as we are not a rare breed <br />I too have done what rednecks do with chainsaws I have cut trees down <br />And made homeless animals and birds my claim to ill renown <br />That we dislike in others what we dislike in ourselves does obviuosly seem clear <br />The loud chainsaws of extinction in my nightmares I do hear <br />Than using chainsaws for a living better occupations one can name <br />That I am an ex tree feller is to my eternal shame <br />My life as a chainsaw woodman I'm not happy to recall <br />That I've left many creatures homeless I don't feel proud of at all <br />That some become wealthy from taking from Nature is seen as an okay thing <br />They are no less redneck than I am yet their praises many sing <br />And I am not the only redneck people like me everywhere <br />There are millions if not billions in the bigger World out there.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/you-will-find-rednecks-like-me-everywhere/
