“You should have seen the world before it died”
With arms of green she held us to her breast,
she gave us love and promised to provide;
with skies above in splendor she was dressed.
She nourished us with fruits of fertile dirt,
we flourished in the freshness of her breath.
She wrapped us in the creases of her skirt
to comfort us in pieces of our death.
Neglected our duty, now she can’t dance,
her slippers of beauty are worn from steel.
Our concrete has taken her soul of romance,
we were mistaken by thinking she’d heal.
I wish you had seen our beautiful Earth,
she was our queen and she'd given us birth.
