I have no legs to make a stand
I have no eyes, no ears, no hands
I have no tongue to speak for me
Yet I cry and wail in agony

I was the purest in this game
I still am but it’s not the same
I was beautiful and lush and then
I was crippled by a disease called Man

I gave him water, air and land
When he was just a grain of sand
Ungrateful and spoilt is he
To leave a tainted legacy

I gave him signs, I’ve warned him so
Often that he’s now come to know
That he must clean what he has made
Dirty with his mad parade

Still I could never understand
What’ll take for him to see his end?
When will he learn? He never will
He’s arrogant and evil still

He’s happy now but he will be hurt
Of his home he knows no worth
To a monster I’ve given birth
I am what he calls Mother Earth

I twist and turn my thoughts around
To escape the growing gloom
To think that there may be a future
That isn’t like the drawing doom

I smile to hide my searing pain
Fake laughs can create true joy
Yet my heart never lies at ease
Keeps worrying about my girl and boy

What’s in store? I do not know
What’s in sight? I cannot see
What’s that sound? I cannot hear
Only feel this monstrosity

I never folded hands for myself
Never asked for happiness
I am old and weak but willing
To pass not forward this distress

All I ask — I ask now of you
Bless not my kids with the greatest joy
Keep them safe from Sorrow’s clutches
My darling girl and my dear boy

If you took a knife and cut me
Every time I lied
My body will be full of slashes
Still I’ll bleed more lies

What if all the mirrors lied?
If they had something to hide?
Then you are not what you see
The truth is on the other side

Sadness is your shadow
Waiting for a little spark
To rear its ugly head
And follow you everywhere
It engulfs you
It never leaves your side
How futile your means to escape!

You are the light
The light from which it is born
Nothing may be faster than light
But it isn’t any slower

Let it do its things
It can only do so much
Wherever there is light
There will be a shadow
Sadness is inferior to you
It is a mere reflection
You are the supreme being
Keep shining!

I left the window open
And fears came rushing in
Some I inhaled while
Some settled on my skin

On my skin they formed
Red and quite tiny moles
Burning with every scratch
Excruciating holes

Yet these tiny moles
Relatively safer ride
The fears I inhaled
Were eating me inside

These raindrops are my tears
Those clouds above — my eyes
This land here is my heart
Overflowing with tides that rise
Way above the towers
Built not for waves this strong
Should have shed these tears earlier
I held them back too long
