Earth Cries
Sometimes, whispered voices off in the distance
echoes calling spirits, hearts, souls of the past
listen to messages without resistance.
Set in the oceans and the seas, land held fast
inner voices christened in hearts of the earth
questioning will men learn of the harm they cast?
There appears no quick reply in death or birth
slow and methodic land and seascapes reshaped
only the almighty asks what is life worth?
Mother earth rumbles down in its core once caped
to sigh and moan and groan of all men mistakes
without thought or plan to replace all they take.
Disgruntled, discontent, broken to heartache
earth burns hot and floods and slides back into place
shaken rattles, fumes and freezes till all wake.
Extinction looms until the gift of earth is safe
and moaning, groaning of mankind's ignorance
can evolve or can be easily erased.
