6 Ben
Red Rhythmic
Skywalker
On the Body of the
Goddess Gaia
We live and have our
Being----
She dances through
the Heavens
Full of Beauty, Joy,
and Bounty----
She regulates a
perfect Balance
Of Elements, Insects,
and Animals----
Why would we rape
Her?
Burn Her Forests---drill
Her Bones----
Endlessly suck Her
Blood from the ground?
Why do we pollute
Her Water, Soil, and Air?
Why do we destroy
Her?
We kill Her Animal Children
and Ourselves----
She, who is Mother
and our Homeland----
How short-sighted
and ignorant
Are we---Her Children?
Our Consciousness is
venal---low and banal---
Greed is not good---but
Evil incarnate---
We profane the
Sacred
In many Ways---
Goddess, help us.
