The Element of Mother Earth

Indigenous, the people pay homage Their sacred songs filled with ancient wisdom Mother earth wrestles mankind in bondage Throughout the lands of her earthly kingdom She stretches dry fingers, through valleys Before she lays, her head down to sleep Is saddened the world fails to rally And nobody shall, witness her weep Her resources are used and abused Oh Mother Earth, what has mankind done Forgive our shame, for we’ve been confused Wipes her tears, before the morning sun She will soon, unleash all of her fury For mother earth is now judge and jury. March.06.2016 Element Earth Contest

No one honored Mother Earth more than the Native Americans, but it will be made clean again. Your sentiments are very well expressed, WW.
