Our Mother Weeps—
Born in her nurturing arms
Cradle to death and back again,
She held out her helping hands
As a sanctuary for all her children,
Yet we are children of greed
Mutilating the very being that cultivated us,
Tearing at her body for the “greater good”
Because for us good is never good enough,
Without hesitation
We fill her every dying breath with our filth,
Her kindness holds her back
Yet slowly rage is building,
As much as she loves all her children
She cannot handle the pain,
My fellow man hear me out,
If we do not change our ways
And restore her to her former glory,
It will be too late for forgiveness
For she will release all her fury
...
What will we do then?
