SWEET CHILD ON THE BREEZE
They blow without care
The leaves...
to lay diamonds and jewels in
the bare meadow fields
to catch in the thatch there, up
high in the eves
They do not know...
Their mothers are dying
the roots ever weakening
in bleak creaking screams
unfurling and shifting
in a nightmare of dreams
Swaying like ships on a raging
grey sea...
An ever growing cancer But
the leaves do not see...
the Great trunks belying the
truth of the dying
but Gaia knows well
and Gaia lies crying
a Great mutilation and Murder
for wood
the humans destroying the
planet for good
a lung that is gasping for
clean air to breathe
though the leaf does not know
this
sweet child on the breeze...
The wild wind knows well, but
He will never tell....
