"tears of mother earth"

I heard you loud and clear.
I heard your cry like tropical thunder.
I feel your tears pouring non-stop like Vancouver rain in winter.
Homes have become battlegrounds.
The weak have become the strongest.
Wars have become the conflict resolutions of the time.
Societies adorned themselves with hungry and homeless mobs. 
I heard you loud and clear.
I heard your cry like a stormy hurricane.
I see your tears in the blues of the refugees and orphans all over the world.
Streets of gold have become more deadly than the ancient jungles of 
Africa ruled by the flesh eating man monsters sucking lives out of teens.
Societies once fed and nurtured with natural resources have dumped you for 
man made chemicals and commerce.
Soulless societies; drugs and diseases infested streets, render lives useless 
for the wealth of few individuals
I heard you loud and clear.
I heard your cry in mourners of our lost trees.
I feel your pain in the abused women and abandoned kids.
Soulless societies, societies that feed on supremacy and corruption;
Societies that have forsaken integrity and decency of character for race,
gender and sexual orientation.
The heartless few have divided your face to rule your masses regardless 
of who lives or dies.
Tears of Mother Earth.
