Earth Dreams While our Earth is slumbering While the armies of denial Drill the death of everything Make a painting to the sunset Draw a breath still clean and free Dance a forest one last solstice Sing the seas an elegy. As the rain falls down like acid As the city falls in ruin Speak betrayal to our children Say that it was not our doing. Nothing lovely lasts forever ~ Nothing bitter as our greed ~ Nothing broken as the homeless People, polar bears, and dreams. ---- We cannot stop the changing climate Fueled by poisons in the air Nor the course of Earth's destruction That our children have to bear. Still we seek to heal our planet Save all creatures large and small By our acts of love and courage We awaken to Earth's call. In our work, in all our living Dream new ways both safe and sound Slow the path of sure disaster Keep the carbon underground!
