Mother Earth Poem by sookdeo manansingh manansingh

Mother earth is crying
because everything will be left behind
she is crying because some of her children
are fighting as though they are blind
they know not what the future
have in store
the abundance of wealth will come
with the waves to the shore

for the fragrance from the flowers
travel with the clouds
to share her love
that which is unseen except by the stars
from above
with knowledge she is able
to remove the darkness
and keep the mind clear
whatever be her children desire
she will make possible without fear

to reap out of the ground
the fruit of life comes with
unconditional faith
what more can one imagine
with time to have patience and wait
the blanket of opportunities sits in the horizon
and awaits to fulfill ones dream
it takes only a moment of silence
to flow with the stream

wake up oh children
that the cloud of intelligence
will free you from this cage
the treasure of wisdom
lies before your feet
like the light of a sage.
