Poem
How long has Babylon ruled the world? How long have we raped, and ruined and murdered These things aren´t marks of a civilised society You think you´re enlightened? Well, open your eyes! When Babylon falls will you fall too? When Babylon falls, will you know what to do? Cos there ain´t no place that´ll be safe then. No point in running when the Earth is quaking, buildings are falling, grown men are shaking, wars over food, wars over water, taken by surprise cos who´d ever thought that the civilised world could be destroyed, crushed and toppled, over so quickly, civilisation turns into chaos so quickly and all the way down you were saying "it´s ok!" selling your soul for another selfish day, counting your pennies, spending your pounds cos money makes the world go round! ignoring the Mother that´s under your feet the Earth you´re smothering under your concrete the Earth who can hear the cries of the desolate, the hungry, the cold, the lonely, the abused and all of those whom the rich world forget. Babylon stands like a selfish child, prize in its hand, but all the while the Earth is moving under the ground gathering its strength for the final round... so what you going to do when Babylon falls? are you going to fall when Babylon falls? or will you be part of a brand new world based on compassion, honesty and care for the Earth? well, it´s time to prepare..... Babylon will fall but the Earth won´t fall, Pachamama´s ancient, she´s seen it all before and if you love the Earth, she won´t kill you, if you love the Earth, you´ll know what to do, but now´s the time to listen, now´s the time to learn, time to prepare for when Babylon burn, so that from the ashes, the Phoenix will spring and after the nightmare, the new dawn wil bring a fresh opportunity to learn how to live in harmony with the Earth, to learn how to give as well as take, to learn how to nurture as well as to break..... for we are the children of Mother Earth she doesn´t want to kill those to whom she gave birth, only is she has to, only if she must to protect herself: she is fair, she is just and if you respect her, she´ll give you many gifts, she gives you everything you need to live and a little "thank you" sometimes would be good when you´re enjoying her fruits, her sunshine, her wood. If you respect the Earth, she´ll always respect you, and there´s nothing to fear, nothing to do.
