Earthling Creed


Love all earthlings, safeguard and never overfeed Simply put, this is the Earthling Creed We move with destruction on the soles of our feet Turning dirt into death and natural victory to defeat Depleting earthly skin crumbles under human lead That claims to shield the armor of children that comforts viable seed The wood speaks loudly with sounds that scratch When attacked by business or brought down by the axe They scream like a child being raped by a grungy wolf Ripping at the flesh, wooden arms torn from the neck Stripped of their clothes, naked they are cut Ancestors watching with red eyes that cannot shut The soil lifted harshly from the crevice of their family The stones oxygen tears don’t make the ground wet But they cling to roots for dear life unable to bring them down The echoing of tree’s wailing makes the languageless ears flinch The sky loses nutrients forgotten with a stich All this for a house built, for a home in need Greed stabbed the youthful seed Greed made the children bleed Greed broke the earthling creed
