Oh my Mother
Oh my Mother mankind's dearest hoe
How you've been posed into prostitution and chained for show
Do we even remember your scenic name
As we dance across your fields playing our war games
Have we forgotten how to love because of this
Are our own women not brought up in masculine abyss?
Teach me how to love again dear Earth
Let us not play in man kinds material birth
Long have I looked for a quiet country side
and to my dismay I have only found hushed screams
I will use this silence as my aspiring canvas
Setting blush beauty to your balas
