THREE hundred acres—so pristine
for recreation needs.
Do not forget the FLOOD control
and city WATER needs.

This habitat diversified
with animal and plant,
and Pasadena, meeting rules,
need  open door — revamp!

PERCEPTION–often matters more,
than the TRUTH so plain.
For what you win in no notice,
will not translate to  gain!

So—PLEASE, dear recreation/parks,
broadcast the meetings wide!
QUI BONO is what people ask,
WHO BENEFITS inside?

Do not be tempted–people say
to pretend it’s for jobs.
In  Land and Water’s  scarcity–
you’ll bring pitch forking mobs!

But please remember, city dear,
at our Nation’s start,
POSTERITY for future lives
was at the Nation’s heart!

And one more thing I have to say.
if playing fields you make,
with  digging plans  and more plumbing–
bathrooms? A big mistake!

QUI BONO is the question here,
Land of Flowing water!
No fields nor building  needed here
NOR bathrooms…WATER slaughter!
