Earth's Question

How many times will you cause  M.E. to die?           

                  Before you cry

                          and ask what shall I do

                                    So I don't hurt You?

     What will it take

           your hatred to shake?

                So your feet will not 

                   not trample and spill

                           earth's precious life blood!


     Will earth finally shake you

          free -  by impatient flood?

                         GO -   and be

                             where you can

                                    no longer

                                          damage  M.E.

ah well that's what our planet does every day, and how often do we say, thank you dear One - can't live without You.
