PlAn it Rape

Speak to me,

Reveal to me

Feel for me

Speak to me over a thousand years

Speak to me over a million seas,

Speak to me over a billion suns

 

Lift me like a thousand mountains

Release me like a thousand fountains

 

You lie deaf and dumb

Exploited crushed, under my thumb

Giving up your virgin beauty

You lie numb and do your duty.

 

Defiled , destroyed , slowly dying

Last breath gasping , heart stopped, sighing

Nothing now can be done

You will be left to dust by the cruel sun.

 

But it’s in my power to release you.

Earth my love, when you’re gone, We’ll miss you.
