Wise Woman

Rings grown crusted like layers of skin
Saturated with blood from wars none win
If you listen to her now let her words dig in
Earth’s story, renowned I fear no way to begin.

Her mother’s nature is to beat and embrace
We have lost our commitment now lack of face
Greed and hatred occupy its place
Who sings you these prayers of whoa and disgrace?

Our Mother, our Earth a piece of us each be.
None a firm beat does compare ask, Cardi
Or maybe you’d listen to facts that now be
Would harmony of Kacey let you see?

Reflections she begs that you see and set free
Evidence like the rings of a tree
She can show our lack of harmony, strike poverty
Resist this truth? In far centuries what will we be?

Humans are but another animalistic animal tree
Virtue of Libra, Leo, Capricorn and me
The vicious Gemini’s quest for almighty
Are they not your brothers and sisters would be?

Hold close our time has now come
To take all destructions and render it undone
A prouder moment there isn’t one
What is your quest you cannot outrun?

Survival or death?
