Earth,
She the beauty with caramel tan surfaces,
She the sand that lay on the beaches.
Her flawless tattoos attracts the stars and skies.
Her bare back stretching across the mountains and hills
To the lava jumping and splashing that's been building up, she might explode...
She plants and grows flowers on her long hair.
Hanging on the tips of her dreadlocks are hanging down like crystal chandeliers
Held in the open atmosphere.
Though, they all go down.
Popping gunfire shots in the darkness.
Boom. Bloom. Boom.
Now 3 am nights are just flashing blue and red lights.
Everyday being the same.
Call me a hippie or not,
Peace and violence don't get along because it only exits when a war starts.
Society vs. Person.
Society vs. Nature.
Society vs. Society.
A big merry-go-round.
Riding the same Pegasus in circles.
You already know how it all goes.
They raise their weapons at the bystanders but they don't stop from there.
One direction on the minorities
With parents watching as they see their priorities deceased in front of their eyes.
The guns used by authorities don't wait for no hesitation
And mask away their faults in mass incarnation.
No wings to fly for a sight of freedom.
Earth's mother calls her Nature cause her father loves the girl
Who was born to give life.
But she only held him with bullet wounds while he lays and takes death by the hand.
Now Nature takes drags from cigarettes and fills her skies with lies.
She inhales the smoke like it was her last breath and exhales as she relief it's her first.
She has scars and dreadful memories hidden under her grounds.
She tries to stay sober but it seems
She can't remember a day when she is.
People fill her oceans with glitter and plastic
And the media is stuck over their heads who winning the election.
The media is stuck over their heads
With bombs and guns pointed toward their own brother and sisters
Like who gives any fucks for destroying her inside and out.
The newer generation is too busy to help.
No one wants to listen
But what about Earth ?
There's no news of earth
Well guess what.
She laughs in flowers.
