Promise after promise is broken
as she lay dormant for so many years
now we spill her blood once again
fouling the oceans
Her true children weep in silence
then wash upon her shores
in thousands
as we turn the channel
Unpunished and unchanged
the butchers laugh at our apathy
our leaders turn a blind eye
their hands open
God holds her crippled body
and asks for her forgiveness
that he would create such wretched creatures
who lay waste to this gift given them
their own
Mother Earth
