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
