Mother With Beards
The earth is mother with beards
grassland and forests are beards, moustache
mountains and hills are its nose and teeth
oceans, lakes and rivers are udders for milk
I see animals as her children not parasites
human beings live not as a beneficiary
microscopic beings live not as troubles
all I see are bearded earth feeding her kids
Impartial and loving is the bearded mother
there is no child the bearded mother hates
Black, white, short, tall, beautiful or ugly
there is no woman or man; every kid is a kid
The creatures love her dearly in daily life
not a single kid has taken refuge to other planets
in case of misconducts bearded mother punishes
through landslide, floods, lightning and quakes
This bearded mother is mother of mothers
her heart is filled with tender love for all
if there is one kid unhappy who can that be?
if there is one fault she has what can that be?
Mothers, be the mother that loves all
mothers be the mother that provides for all
mothers be the mother that is empathetic to all
mothers be the mother that plans good for all
