Earth Song

Listen now, and listen well,
Hear one and all, The Earth will tell.
If you win, if you lose,
Matters not, The Earth will choose.

Spit you out, or take you in,
If you love, or if you sin.
Understand, The Earth will win.
Trees know all, sap and bark,
Birds that fly, hawk and lark.

Fish inside the oceans well,
Stars blink out their coded tell.
Speak softly, or loudly call,
Spirits echo, Earth knows all.

Those who  promise life, will fail.
Only, Black Earth, will prevail. 
Animals all in pairs, free roam,
Once more, all The Earth is home.

Voices free, from human chains.
Peace dispersed, just love remains.
