The suffering of
Ancient ones
Leaking out of
Dark moist forests
To populate new
Red deserts.
Oh how we bleed
As waters dry up
Faint ones gasping
For survival
Oh how we bleed
As our earth, beholden
Reaches out her arms
For new rich soil
To nourish her babies.
Oh how we bleed
As poisoned seas
Stretch from beach
To endless cliff-edge
Oceans dive deep
To seek new lands
Beneath our waves
Of humility….
Oh how we bleed…..
