Walking With Tears

The forefathers' spirits
walk the earth with wet tears
wondering - what became
through intervening years.

They listen to the earth
as it groans and hollers;
now witnessing the rape
for just a few dollars.

Mankind does not worry
as the land is laid bare;
things of the present,
the future - not a care.

The land and contents are -
here for all to use.
Strip not the forests
and the land not abuse.

The forefathers' spirits
walk the earth with wet tears
wonder - what became
through intervening years.
