Mother Nature's Blood

Mother Nature’s Blood Watch Mother Naure bleed Kill one of her children Shoot that mother deer Leave the fawn to fend for itself You won’t take the meat You won’t use the pelt The deer died for your amusement You didn’t care that she didn’t die right away She laid on a pile of leaves Watching her baby hidden in the bushes You just walked away Looking for another target as she took her last breath The little fawn cried as her mother’s eyes closed She snuggled to wake her mom up to play But her mother was gone The hunters left hours later The more deer lay dead across the woods More babies were left orphaned Mother Nature bleeds with every death She can feel an animal’s soul go to Heaven Her blood covers the forest Only to be washed away in the rain The roses though The beautiful white roses They hold on to the blood They hold on to the memories of the fallen And they will show Mother Nature’s blood on their petals There it will remain until the moment when the killing stops And Mother Nature bleeds no more.
