dear mother

no one wishes to speak, no one wishes to see,
 
but dying, dying, our world she withers.

every death, gasping, welling - there's blood pooled within the eyes of your most gentle. we watch them perish for our own gain.
 
bees, so gentle, ever working to spread lush foliage; dying, money MONEY MORE MONEY.
 
we will die choking on the fumes of our endless greed and yet is there hope mother? placate me.. mother? your voice is so faint.

plastic chokes your oceans of tears, chemicals riddle the bones of your tiniest, most precious. we are the disease, the cancerous - THEY KNOW, do not think they are innocent children mother, they know exactly what they do.

i cry mother but i am but a tiny speck on your dying earth. they fall upon ears deaf and eyes blind.. but i know, we know.. they know.
 
and we will sit in the ashes of the dying, those crying and will hear a victorious laughter and only when...

our time draws near, i hear the steady drums of war - a war fought between man and those who try to preserve what has a right above any other.
 
the right to survive, thrive, anarchy boils the blood of the earth warriors, the forest spirits, the desert nomads and those who revere you above all.
 
we will be your voice.
