Mother-Earth

Пилипенко Сергей
Hush now, can you hear
The groans of the Earth?
Can you see the wounds
From the South to the North?
Our Mother is tired,
She needs a relief
From the spreading fire
And the pain that we give.

We are bad children
Showing our disrespect,
For the care we are given,
And the love we neglect.
Abusing the treasures,
We just take and don't give,
But it can't last forever.
Mother, please, just forgive.

Can you see the destruction?
Violence, murders and blood?
There is no obstruction,
Our minds're denying the God.
We are sorry, our Mother,
For the pain and making you cry,
We are lost and we're puzzled.
Give us chance for another try.
