EARTH:



Grind, chew,
Spit & spew,
Giant jaws clamp,
Metal teeth grind,
Turning the earth, sodden, damp,
How the earth smells,
How the earth yells,
Clods of muddy tears,
Left sleeping through private years,
Now, the earth weeps crunchy sobs,
Of everything the human robs,
Turn & churn,
Yield & yearn,
Wet weeping soil,
Only man is made to spoil,
Dig it up, leave it nude,
Black gaping hole, so cruel & crude,
Reveals her heart, her entrails, her soul,
Leave the earth sad weeping alone,
The worm, the bug, seed, root & weed,
The earth is all they need, to live, to breed,
Leave the creatures beneath the dark to play,
Please man, for where is God I pray?
Cover the hole & patch the tear,
Cover the wound aching in despair,
Leave the earth to bird, beast, mole & fox,
For God´s sake, the earth needs not another concrete box.
