Mother Earth
Looking back at life
I saw the day become the night and the night become the day
Just to notice
The new become the old, the old becoming something new
Again, again, and again…
The hate becomes destruction
And destruction becomes nothing
Nothing more than nothing
I see love, oh yes, love
Become infinity and also its traditional creations
Again, again, and again…
Looking back at life
I saw the light become the dark in each person’s death
And the dark become the light in each baby born
Again, again, and again…
But more disturbing to me
Was the cry of my beloved Mother Earth
Due to mankind’s irresponsible
Destructive behavior of her precious natural wealth
Again, again, and again…
