Oceans Full of Tears

Oceans full of tears A sea sick with fear Where lonely fish swim in ridicule and plastic For mother earth listens and blisters from Bombastic rhetoric from climatic heretics – don’t you get it? A sustainable future, but a suture on open wounds A world in constant triage A cease-fire on the horizon? Listen to your heart, feel the rhythm of life Take a little slice, don’t roll the dice Mother earth still listens through the trees, her songs on the breeze A melody through your hair That caresses those that know; How to see the light, on a forest floor Cascading spectrum's Through dew drops bursting with life That all may follow in her footsteps So light of tread For a brighter world ahead
