I took a moment today to commune with nature
Stepping into the wood, I walked a long while
Coming upon a secluded area I finally just collapsed
Right upon the Earth and for her I wept
I kissed the sky, caressed the ground, hugged the trees
and cried
The damage done to our friend when so defenseless
Feeling sorrow for what I eat and materials I own
They are unnecessary these things when the Earth has all
Mankind so intelligent, yet so unbelievably ignorant
Why must we use our knowledge to hurt you
Corruption used to **** the planet and her beauty
A perfect system so lovely and majestic
Yet blind we sit behind four walls, caught in a rat race
And we forget how lovely it is to dance in rain
To smell the dirt, caress sweet flowers, commune with trees
For they speak you know, we are merely deaf
I sit here and meditate and feel true inner peace for once
I love you
Things have so vastly changed, I wish to live in The Old Ways
What is happening now is so unnatural, it breaks my heart
My religion is being defiled and I am a part of it
Forgive me Mother, you are more wise
I am weak, uneducated but I long to protect you
I leave my sanctuary now as I pick up trash and weep
It is alright for you, not for me
You'll last beyond eternity when we are all gone
I just pray you can forgive us and heal
When that day may come
