Mother Earth - Heal Thyself
Mother Earth - Heal Thyself Mother, O Mother what have we done to you ! Crushed your soul, abused you Your tender sleeve of flora uprooted The soothing watery streams polluted Air is no longer pure or calm Mother, O Mother such proverbial harm ! Microbial fossils before the sapiens came Yet inventing, innovating we played a dangerous game. Venturing on some gigantic ego traps We set up intricate antibiotic labs. Destroying, defeating, dismantling microbes, What a farce, our wisdom grandiose ! How you rumbled quaking, erupting Tsunamis displayed your righteous mumbling. We failed to stop our malefaction A minuscule cell fell our deceptive kingdom. No rules were set, no statute kept Indiscriminately we chopped, ripped and bled O Mother thou so munificent, magnanimous, generous, benevolent Envelope us in - Ameliorate! Chirping birds, humming swallows, blooming flowers, faunal wallows, Dew laden grass, lush green moss, clear skies, sun kissed casques Mother
