Earth mother-line unit palindrome

by Brenda   Mar 26, 2017


The sins of our fathers
we shouldn't project upon the children
our carelessness to these lands
causing Earth Mother to weep tears of acid
blackened and hollow we have made their souls
their skin etched with the acid that falls from the sky
they pay for our carelessness to the lands we trod upon
we have projected upon the children
the sins of our fathers
-
The sins of our fathers
we have projected upon the children
they pay for our carelessness to the lands we trod upon
their skin etched with acid that falls from the sky
blackened and hollow we have made their souls
causing Earth Mother to weep tears of acid
our carelessness to these lands
we shouldn't project upon the children
the sins of our fathers

A line unit palindrome is designed to be read from top to bottom and bottom to top.
