We are your children
beloved children
stepping upon you
you wipe dry
our tears
and bloodshed
of my brothers
your love knows no
boundary
you give us food
water for the thirsty
take us to shelter
but then again we falter
millions of people bow to you
history unfurled before you.
Mother Earth!
daunted, I don't know what to do
I will write and sing your name
because my love
for you
is all I have
do you want me
to mend the cracks of your land
until I suffered the calluses in my hand
do you want to see
my final breath
wrapped in stale air
my lifeless body nestled on your lap
and so my lifetime ordeal came to a stop.
