Does anyone hear? - Poem

Oh moon, what do you see?

When you look down on humanity…

Untold destruction of our own race

Our misery orbiting around space

Does anyone hear you when the seas cry out?

Oh sun, what do you see?

As you watch many lifetimes repeat…

The same histories we never learn

Anger in our eyes will spit bombs and burn

Does anyone hear you when the ground is hot?

Oh rock, what do you see?

As we stomp upon you with our feet…

We create deep ruts and become proud

Divisions are hard, our voices loud

Does anyone hear you when the sand is soft?

Oh tree, what do you see?

As we chop you down for more money…

We make paper though it’s hard to breathe

Read papers, transact products, watch TV

Does anyone hear you when the leaves turn brown?

Oh world, what do you see?

When we kill and maim you try and heal…

We claim our love and rip you apart

We wear soft gloves around our iron hearts

Does anyone hear you when the ground crumbles?
