The earth is heavily burdened


Come to me they cried.
Come to me once more
the Earth is heavily burdened.
And I am not free to assist,
but there hidden deep within
the scar of the past cried out in pain…

Shelter not you foolish child
the world of Earth needs your support.

No time for idleness and play
for here upon the ground
I see the death of man.

No more time to be at peace
while the violence on the Earth remains.

So much humiliation,
man tends to deny his greatest need
to bow before the altar of his life
given to be explored endlessly.

Oh God, the devil gone from man,
but hindered by the western greed
came back so suddenly.

And in his haste he failed to see his call –
to become a man of pride
and deny the gluttony of man’s making,
that of endless desire.

And now I come and see my place
to rid my soul of pain.
And in that task I find myself
in a more actively engaged way
to do for God the proper call …
to be respectful of all humankind.
