Mother Earth
The world is a-shaking, shaking
Mother Earth is a-quaking, quaking
Hamas attacks Israel
Putin claims Ukraine
I’m not the only one
Saying the world has gone insane
How quickly we forget, the evils of Nazi Germany
And all those who sacrificed to protect democracy
So many countries, leaving decisions to a few
Leading all to war, when most don’t want to
Aren’t we all human?
Don’t we all bleed red?
Yet all we can offer
Are graves to bury the dead
World leaders fight over resources-oil, land, minerals and technology
It is incredible, what those same world leaders don’t see
That if we can’t co-exist peacefully
Mother Earth will cease to be
Can we start a revolution?
Show human evolution?
By resolving our differences with words and statesmanship
Not bombs, missiles and warships?
If we don’t act now
All will be for naught
Mother Earth will be another planet
The Universe forgot
