A Child of the Earth

by S. L. Butterworth - Pisces

Of the Earth,
A child of the Earth.
The bathing of the Sunrise,
The cleansing of the Sea,
The loosening of the ties that set the children free.

A rapist's child.
Innocent from the pain,
Forgetful of the sorrow,
Has come to bear the shame
Of Humanity.

It seems to know all that's past.
Holding hands,
(Its right and left)
Looks to itself for love.
To force away the hate.

This child of the Earth,
Small against Humanity's sins,
Pity's the petty of the world,
Who believe they hold the Earth,
Laugh's behind its hands,
(Its right and left),
For the Earth they never had.
