Mother

Mother Earth is ruptured and broken Her fledglings are ill and dying Losing a battle to sustain Life They look to Mother Earth once Bountiful and plentiful a womb Of cleanliness and rapture Now black and barren Mother Earth cries tears by waves Winds of tornadoes and hurricanes The ground thunders beneath her Volcanoes spew flames and lava Her fledglings Ill and dying Turn the other cheek look up If only they heard her noise Understood her signs things Could change and Mother Earth Would become green again.
