The GRAND Mother.
Mother earth bleeds her molten mud and fire
rains her tears, bursts her banks and mire
Her soil cracks in earth-quake frustration
and cyclonic breath, in anticipation.
*+*
You go on and on, with your assault
Do you blame her, for her revolt?
She tries to re-build her outer shell
So us, the humans, won't burn like hell
*+*
Wake up, you mere mortal inhabitant
Save our house and all that's significant
all living creatures, need to roam
‘cos’ once she blows, you're all alone.
*+*
Falling debris from outer space
put up there, by some human face.
Don't you know it's your responsibility
to let it not end in catastrophe?
*+*
Keep the skies blue and pure
Dismantling the bomb, might be a cure!
Be kind to our 'Mother Earth', she's all we've
got
before you know it, we'll have lost the lot.
*+*
