I am
Gaia
And
I cry when the forests fall.
I am
Gaia
And
I cry because
I
hear the people weep
And I
can do nothing
I
can do nothing at all.
I am
Gaia
And
I have seen the righteous forsaken
I
have seen evil flourish, good punished.
I
have seen
The
desert swallow the oasis, its windblown sand
Fill
the dry skull’s staring eyes,
I am
Gaia.
And
I have seen the rivers sullied
The
air stained with poison,
I
have felt the knife
In
my heart.
I
have heard lies spoken in the name of truth
I have
heard prayers for harm to befall
Those
who have not done the praying people harm.
I
have seen the poor stripped naked
To
enrich the rich.
I
have seen murder done
In
the name of stopping murder
And
nobody thought it as ironic
Nobody
at all.
I have
seen evil done
In
the name of God,
I
have not seen evil done
In the
name of the Devil.
I am
Gaia
And
I have seen everything
Except
one
One
thing only –
I am
Gaia
And
I have not seen
God.

I like what I know about Gaia, which isn't a lot, but what I do know makes a lot of sense
ReplyDeleteSomehow Gaia, I don't think you are going to see God anytime soon.
