Mother Earth is Weary
-----------
O Weary...weary
Our Mother has seen
our lives unfold
Civilizations rise and fall
She foretold the universe
humanity and its demise
O Brother...Sister
we honor those that are gone
for they cry
They realize we can't hear
the songs of the angels
The light we can't envision
Mother Earth and the stars
shining brightly interstellar space
You've felt the pain
yet she's sheltered you
O Youth...Sweet youth
lost on battlefields
our warrior spirits control us
Our hair now gray
the lines upon our faces
tell tales of man and woman
O Life...Sweet life
it comes and goes
as beauty breathes the air
You suffer so
just as lovers do
O Mother...Sweet Mother
we've abused you so
The ancient ones
They honor your creation
Their freedom is fleeting
O Weary...weary
is this earth
warfare upon her
People in conflict weep
Our mother will be healed
when we fall by the way
Only death can claim us
to be reborn

Many of us have grown weary. These feelings are like birth pangs. The darkest point of night is the moment just before the sun appears. I believe that this moment is upon us. Excellent write, my friend.
