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
