Sense Sonnet - Acher

 Oak Flat

Oak Flat in Arizona be

Site of Apache holy ground,

Protected by U.S. treaty,

Like others not deemed to be bound

By governments that come and go.

The Trump government plans to sell

Oak Flat land to Rio Tinto,

A foreign company, do tell,

That wants to mind the copper there,

Destroying the environment.

The Trump folks really do not care.

That message has been clearly sent.

Will the Biden government act

To keep holy Oak Flat in tact?
