Message From Mother Earth

Frankie Armstrong, 1990

I am the soil that harbours the seed
I am the crops the good soil yields

Remember, I give you birth
Remember mother earth

I am the wood, the forest, the trees
I give the buds, take back the leaves

Remember...

I am the rain, the rivers, the sea
All creatures born must drink of me

Remember...

I have been here since time was new
but now I fear what your time may do

Remember...

You plunder me for coal and for oil
leaving me scarred, leaving me spoiled

Remember...

You clear the forests, uproot the trees
poison the air, pollute the seas

Remember...

Pure air, pure rain, for millions of years
Now on the wind come acid tears

Remember...

Why can't you hear? Why can't you see?
You kill yourselves if you kill me
