A prayer of hope to Mother Earth

Your hurt is ours' to bare
Mother Earth !
Please don't hurt
babes, born, to be born
for they do not know
what their fathers did
Spare them please !
Let them cry, laugh and play
on your bosom.

Wonder that you are,
please seek, tell, even destroy
which that is evil
that what causes the hurt
lawless, heartless, mindless.

Tell him, tell them
of cause and it's sure effect
good begets good
bad, bad.
Show him, show them
Mother Earth !
The power
fire, wind, water, matter
yet, spare the babes,
to be born...
we'll wait
for Godot to come !
