Prayer For Earth

PRAYER FOR EARTH

From this alien scape
I watch all happen, I was there from the seed age
I saw darkness clouds the world
Through it, wax sticks cries to shine
Struggles to illuminate path of humanity
We are the ones,  fortunate souls
So day by day lets continue our sacrifice
For this earth bears witness
To account every bit owed it
Tomorrow by dusk
When the rain is over, when the sun stops shinning
Bringing about our reign
Of us humans with passion
For mothers earthly progress 
Let our wax cries to give a shine.
