JSM - Edition Four

W ho A m I?

Who am I? I was born to a country home Lots of trees and birds galore Money was really tight

I never said “I want more!” I went to Pennsylvania school I was very clever I loved nature Killed even an ant? Never ever! As I grew up things started to change, Deadly DDT pesticide spray Killing bird and fish by the dozen I couldn’t let it be this way! I started to protest And wrote my first book,

I fought and fought, Lots of work it took, Insults were thrown,

From the DDT company, She’s crazy, ridiculous! They said about me! But then evidence started to flow Dead fish ashore Broken eagle eggs But things just stayed the way they were before Next I wrote my famous last book ‘Silent spring My last bit of protest, Just did the thing

Then I got sick Cancer, oh my! In 1964, April 14th I said my last goodbye.
