O Mother Earth!
June 16, 2013
In this world foremost I see
Lead me, my eyes to thee
Yet the shambles of earth I fear
More there is, ample lot to bear
Besieged man is in blind greed
Of money, land, power but deed
Oh Earth! You suffering mother!
To your earthlings a lullaby you sing
'Why' echoes my question to you
After all the crisis and ferocity
and selfishness and atrocity
Why with love you bestow man your ecstasy?
A wanderer like me ponders with time
With a page and pen and bed at rest
Ten children together cannot nurse a mother
Yet a mother can nurse humanity at best
