DAY 47: How do you solve a problem like Regina

who walks the talk, and

talks and walks some more

a privileged life she left

to do her yoga

and teach poor children

in the slums of Kenya

where the toilet was awful

and water was scarce;

But she saved some

to clean her undies

You can’t fake 

that kind of life.

No you can’t.

No you can’t.

And then she came

to task big media

— protect the

planet where we live,

a losing cause for government

traded money for the mountain

and more money to let miners 

take what they can, do as they please.

But Regina she told miners

you’re going to die soon,

what are you going to do with your money?
Yeah, what are you going to do with 
your money when you’re dead,

so 

very 

dead?

You can’t fake 

that kind of life.

No you can’t.

No you can’t.

Then Duterte put her on the spot

in the office where they steward

this part of the planet, and she

asked them to clap as she came

to shoo away the bad vibrations.

They tried to bribe her like the

ones before her — How do you bribe

the one who volunteered for life 

in Africa instead of Forbes? How do you

bribe a yogi? Ha ha, Duterte gave you a puzzle you can’t solve. 
She’ll close the mines. She’ll cancel the contracts to protect our water, 

oh so very precious water getting scarce, 

leave some for your undies like Regina.

You can’t fake 

that kind of life.

No you can’t.

No you can’t.

How do you solve a problem like Regina?

”How do you hold a moonbeam in your hand?”
