Mother of the Earth

Oh Mighty tree of the ages I have witnessed you in all stages Like the fierce spirit of David And the boldness of Queen Esther You have defied all the rules and make mighty men look like fools You have made the enemies scatter And the hypocrites run for shelter digging bad men out of their comfort zone and repaying them with a blood stone The cry from the battle can be heard from high And the bullets echoed with a desperate cry silent wind passing by and big waves rolling in an unpredictable direction. I am anchored on this solid rock with the world watching my back The water is flowing steadily down the stream While the trees wait patiently on my dream The taste of water is refreshing The sound of water is invigorating It drowned out all the detestable sound so that I can mesmerize beauty all around Mother of the earth you are divine Mother of the earth you are so kind Our eyes have witness the villains days watching mighty men falling on their own sword while the humble walk merrily along the road Didn't we conquer the entire earth And cause ceaseless misery around the globe Didn't we build our houses in gold And watch the men seduced our women They hang out in bars drinking beer and hard liquor while our children tremble at home in fear As their vicious and abusive dad appears Mother of the earth you have passed the test Hold your head high and do not fret Watch your friends on the covetous bench And dine with them to get the upper hand You cannot always trust everyone but you have to trust someone Don't let them know that you don't trust them Keep your intuition alive before you go to bed And always place the bible above your head Leave a beggar man in all the corridors To report the happening hour by hour Be in-tune with your heart murmur And hire a personal trainer to keep your torso straighter The trainer can re-position your head so that you don't walk and bend Keep your head high as if you were walking above the sky The mysteries of life is embodied in the ocean thirty minutes a day is a good locomotion Go way out in the deep and observe the life of the common people in the street Wet your feet in the water when you go fishing near the harbor Phase one is over now they know that you are not a push over Get into some training gears and turn the music up to your ears You got to lift some heavy weight to break that iron gate Mother Theresa has defied the odds and you are her daughter Mother of the earth you are kind
