In Silence
In Silence I Hear Too Much
Your silence is tearing me apart;
For in it , I hear too much.
Those sounds breaks my heart.
Humanity losing it's touch.
In silence, I hear the cries;
I hear her life force drain.
As Great Mother Earth dies;
And struggles to remain.
In silence, I hear her weep;
As the stomachs of babies grumble.
And as her adult children sleep;
Not a peep, not a mumble.
Won't someone speak on her behalf?
Won't they stand and shout?
Won't they raise their coup staff?
Before all her hopes give out.
