Mother Earth is Weeping

Mother Earth is Weeping

Mother Earth weeps

a tsunami size tear

hurricanes and floods sweep

2005 was wet with death

and disaster from Thailand to Mississippi

winds and currents ran faster

engulfing towns and drenching cities

creating homeless orphans unsure

and afraid, wandering in shock

searching for elusive aid

One organization steals from another

in the name of those

who have lost their brothers

Mother Earth crys

tears that flood the streets

thank God for the people

whose compassion is free

they are the heroes and our saving

grace in the midst of tragedy

they gave us faith

even though the government took

from them in the name of the poor

it hasn't stopped them

from giving us more

Mother Earth sweeps

and soon her tears will reach

white house doors

and drown the evil

that enslaves and drowns

the poor
