lyrics

My every organ infected now
each limb gasping under the weight
of your greedy grip, short-sightedness
trains, planes, and automobiles
space ships and skyscrapers
but there is not enough metal or cement in the world
to cover all of me
I am the lifeline to all that there is
your ancestors took rest on my shores
your descendants know me well
they too are mine
I am one with time
does not exist beyond this
beyond this
moment this moment
even in this moment you are taking
always taking
took my insides and spilled them out
even my fingers are heavy now
from the gravity of your ungratefulness
cut me open
bled every vessel dry
I would cry but the storms and hurricanes of my weeping
do not alarm you enough
my volcanoes and forest fires
tornados and monsoons
do not move you enough
I am shaking from the core
breaking, cracking open
pulling up at the roots
these days you are lucky I still open my eyes at all
you have no idea
the damage you have caused
the troubled waters you have conjured
oh children, oh children,
enough.
