Children of Earth

Children of Earth Oh mother look how your youngest misbehaves! He has made all your other children its slaves. It abuses you and itself. It denies any connection to you Gaia you whom gave birth to this earthman the same that scorns you Your own spawn breaks your bones and drinks your blood. Oh holy father oh praise be to father with your spear and sword. Did you not decree that we will have power over all beings! That we who believe in you will spill the blood of our enemies Taking their women and lives. Oh mother look how your youngest misbehaves It claims to have power over all things It has twisted your image made you a bringer of death and war Given you a sword and gun Praises you with blood and flames Is all life not holy? Do we all not have the right to live and suffer? What right do I your son have to take the life of my brother? Oh holy father why have you forsaken us? god shows no mercy to the hungry No remorse for the poor No peace for the war torn soul Oh father why did you not grant us the power of your spear and sword Of your tanks and bombs Look father our enemies feast as we suffer did you not promise us their land and lives? Oh mother look, look! Do you see what we, what I, what they did to you to our home? The trees and flowers have perished All that remains are the bodies of your sons with their broken spears and guns
