STAINED EVERY PALM

They were gifted a life most beautiful

Garden of Eden with plentiful

Adam and Eve, childlike in every way 

Love making, changed everything one eventful day 

 

Here we are , by-products from that act 

Unsure, a fable or fact 

Nevertheless, our gift ‘life’ too precious 

Today survival is prime, challenging and tedious

 

Planet Earth bursting from the seams 

Crushed in the process is nature and dreams 

Kill, rape, murder or cheat the ‘ norm’

Methods in plenty, innovative every form

 

Space in short, trees cut and land reclaimed 

Homes, factories and skyscrapers for the acclaimed 

Poor still struggle joining the circle

They wonder ……is life indeed special?

 

Nature revolts – storms, floods, droughts and epidemics 

Numbers crazy – calamities and their statistics

Every human guilty , hands soiled with ash and blood 

Tears roll , torture no more buried in the mud 

 

Making amends challenging and gruelling 

Messed up every neighbourhood and surrounding 

Where to begin – a big question?

Intelligence at work , seeking the best option 

 

Are we at the end of the road?

Where Garden of Eden has taken the load 

Shrieks resonate , environment sobs

Mother Earth’s womb in agony throbs

 

Clean up sooner than later 

You and I guilty of murder

Before you inflict more pain

think of our wonderful MOTHER!
