Mother Earth

mother earth, When would you stop feasting on our bodies Stop your children and relatives From killing our children and relations. Our heart bleed thousand times in horror At the lost of our brothers and sisters But, there you are happy and joyful. Your body fresh and beautiful Our relations bodies made it so. Is death your brother or nephew? Is sickness your sister in law? They all work hand in hand with you Causing mayham to human kind. Ashes to ashes Dust to dust Soul to soul An eye for an eye Life for life. You give and take from us I understand, but spare us a little With few minutes discussion With your brother, death Perhaps we may cease to toll and mine on you Or maybe we dance the atilogwu To appease your spirit for peace So that you eat no more. feed once annually twice biannually Each morning and night We commit our people in tears to you When will you stop the unfinished festival beyond May your speck of sunshine decrease. Your people betrayed our emotions Torn apart by two feelings Yet we learn not from the past voice Dust to dust we all must go.
