She was very strong and always giving
for which she was granted beauty divine
She was mother to all we know
a role she fulfilled perfectly fine
We are her beloved children
to whom her devotion was conveyed
but we took all she gave us and thensome
and it is Her that we have betrayed
For she is the Earth and she's dying
and we act like we've played no part
stumbling blindly on in selfishness
as we rip out her still-beating heart
Is it any wonder she cries in despair
not for her own self, though, does she weep
for when finally she dies from our hands
there will be no future to keep
