IGNORANCEA Poem by ElmarieI See the EarthIGNORANCE
Blackened land of You have fed us for generations Here I stand looking at you No one there to see you through! Ignorance
........... once Taking the chance
The rape and the pillaging Money always diminishing We do not see your lustrous charm All we seem to do is harm! Ignorance ..........
twice Paying the price
The spilling of your blood Ripped out of your veins a flood You give, we get, they take more And all the while we wage war! Ignorance..........
trice Rolling the dice
Sweet Earth our home This exquisite place we roam Where birds a plenty once flew Now absent from our view! Ignorance.........
again Feeling the pain
Where your rivers of life Are now barren with strife Poisoned, choked a constant
Armageddon smeared with madman venom! Ignorance........... indifference Suffering the consequence
With each and every breath This living miraculous earth I vow to plant your seed And to all humanity - be kind I plead! Ignore no more Revealing the YOU
