Who Had the Real Power
on Planet Earth

Roll your eyes at going to the first Taco John’s of the franchise
And don’t question how odd it is that a Tex-Mex fast-food joint
Got its start in, of all places, Wyoming. Just tolerate their
Potato Olés (even if they’ve changed their hot sauce recipe),
Make the trip to Yellowstone, because it seems like clockwork
That Old Faithful geyser will give you that postcard-perfect
Picture. But what else are you going to see, unless you search
For the nearest glacier to walk on top of. Just be careful when
Winds pick up, and like instinct you’ll crouch to the ground
To protect yourself from mother nature. Because I don’t care
If you love the high-rises of downtown cities in the States,
Peering from the once-96th floor lounge of the once John
Hancock Building, great views from enclosed skyscrapers is
One thing... It’s another to face the elements of nature head-on
To truly understand who has the real power on planet Earth.
