More Gary Snyder poems

In The Dead by the Side of the Road, I think Snyder is trying to get the point across that humans take animals for granted. When someone sees a dead animal on the side of the road it is disappointing and sad but humans don't take into thought that animals can have emotions too. The way humans use animals such as dear for survival is needed but it is also sad in a sense because the animals never got a say in it. He seems to care alot about the environment and the animals that inhabit it.
In For Nothing, once again Snyder is trying to compare earth to something as little as a flower and how humans take it for granted almost like it is just something to be stepped on. He demonstrates that Earth can easily be forgotten about. If Earth is not taken care of the right way then it will dwindle down into what he says "snow-trickel, feldspar, dirt." I like how Snyder uses parts of the environment to get his point across. He uses Earth to act as something so you almost picture it in your mind.
In  Tomorrow's Song,  there is discussion about The United States and it is almost in a sarcastic tone because it says we need no fossil fuel. Either Snyder is being extremely positive and open-minded or he is being sarcastic. In my opinion, I think he is trying to be open minded because in the end of this poem he talks about using the wilderness to get through. This is shocking to me because in all his other poems he has been pretty critical about humans and our useage of the environment.
