"Plea of Mother Earth" |
"Plea of Mother Earth"
Walking around the other day
I was happy, joyous and hay
Eating, drinking, I was throwing the empties away
When I heard the sound of Mother Earth clay
My dear son stop polluting my face
I'm already battered in every place
My blue sky is no longer clear
The dirt and the grime has my chest pierced
The stars have lost their brightness
They are deemed with smoke frightness
Clear blue waters are polluted with garbage
Fish is now scarce such is the carnage
Broken glasses, pieces of bottles everywhere
Trees being cut down here and there
Turning my body into forest of concrete
Thats the face of darkness sorrounding me
Food is littered with sprayed insecticide
The oil smudged face I cannot hide
The changing weather is a sign for mankind
Mend your ways or life will be hard to find
Toxic gas fumes that industries release
Is making the air difficult to breath
Stop the destruction of your Mother Earth
Or there will be nothing left of any worth
Its the plea of your Mother Earth understand
Please don't dig your grave with your own hand
