We are killing her slowly
raping her as she dies
murderers with smiles
stealing life and beauty
beneath once perfect skies
Some blind fools remain happy
arrogant stupid folk
as long as they can taste
fruits of disgusting waste
mills continue to smoke
Obvious decimation
height of hypocrisy
cars and boats and planes
powered by our planet
poisoning land and sea
I beg "do not feel helpless"
act from within your hearts
voice of common man
raised strong and proud and true
this is where healing starts
I cry for my involvement
my stupid shameful acts
please forgive this fool
a lifetime of closed eyes
'tis time to make new pacts
Out there is inspiration
perfect majestic truth
life as it was meant
flowers in the desert
rare gifts She shares with you
No other so important
vile greed must dissipate
focus must be clear
Mother screams for help now
no longer can we wait
What have we done
What have we done
