Mother Earth

All knowing mother Earth
Please answer this prayer
I know that you're in a slumber
But I know you're still there

Clean your shell of evil
And cleanse all of the damned
I can't continue living on you
If this is the path of man

We are stealing and killing
While robbing you blind
I have no faith left in man
We're all one of a kind

We feed, reproduce, destroy
And defile your land
I can't watch it continue
I need your loving hand

Grant me the peace I ask for
In your realm of existence
Just swallow those mean bad
If only for a minute

For that minute will be
The most beautiful minute lived
And all because I cried out for help
And help me you did

The skies would be crystal
The seas would be blue
The animals would rejoice
At their lives renewed

Our cities would be clean
No trash, filth, or sludge
Only leave the ones who deserve it
Each one of us be judged

And if I do not make the cut
I will not curse your name
But I will rejoice in your honesty
And I shall be born again

When that day comes
And I am reborn
I will remember your deed
And those who were forewarned

So grant me this wish
If only this one time
Show your true beauty
And leave out the slime

Untitled

The dawn creeps out of darkness
Like a predator stalking its prey
The luminous eye lays out our paths
Eliminating the unknown and grey

The shadowed woods now show trails
We see now what choices lay ahead
We’re unsure which of these choices to take
“Should we go this way or the other instead?”

Together we walk through the trees
Turning whichever way seems best
We don’t know which destination
We’re choosing over the rest

We’re approaching a new split in the road
Our biased minds stay firm
There is no longer “We”
You chose the other turn

If these paths come back together
Then I will know it was true
Apollo was never guiding me
It was always you
