Why do you hurt me?

Is this what you want to see?

Is this how you want me to be?

Beaten-down and filthy?

What happened to my beauty?

Look through my eyes

do you see why I am criticized?

Can you feel my upcoming demise?

I know I am a super-size

but together you guys can make me sterilized.

 

You've made me intoxicated

right now I am so frustrated

pollutions: cigarettes, factories, cars

have got me wasted

you've made me so

conglomerated with toxins

and in so many places

I am decimated

I feel so unappreciated.

 

Look at all of the things

I provide for you

money, clothes, food,

I strive for you

but how am I to keep

alive for you

with all of the terrible

things you do?

 

I used to sing in the wind,

but now when it blows,

I cry

I used to smile in the sun,

but now when it glows,

my grin is wry

I used to dance with the leaves,

but now when they fall,

I don't even try

I used to be covered in your love,

but now when I feel for it,

I am dry

Why?

 

I am the Mother

of all race

I was given to you

by God's grace

Have I become

an empty space

just because I do

not have a face?
